Honoring My Hero...

On May 26th, Vickie and I visited Bob's grave for the first time. Even after standing there in front of his final resting place it still doesn't seem real. As Joe Wilhite and I discussed, we still expect him to come around the corner and say "Hey man!" as he did so many times.

Vickie and I also visited Grandpa & Grandma Cooney's grave (Robert James & Lillian Marie). Bob was named after his Grandfather who served as a police officer in Webster Groves.

When Bob and I used to talk about Grandpa Cooney he used to talk about the surreal feeling he got standing in front of Grandpa's grave and seeing his own name... I can't help but think about that conversation over and over again.
