The funeral is today. I don't know what to say, so I'm just going to quote my sister-in-law, Lynn.

I am ONE LUCKY GIRL to have had the best father-in-law in the world. This evening, Leon's dad Bob passed away peacefully after a long, brave battle against COPD. Bob never missed a chance to give his advice or share his outlook on life, make us laugh with his awesomely smart ass comments and fatten us up with his homemade chili, caramels and shakes. He was a great husband, dad and grandpa. I am so fortunate to have known him.

Bob leaves behind eight kids and sixteen grandkids, as well as a faithful and amazing wife. We'll miss the old man.
