Remembrances

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of longtime dancer with Puddletown Squares and probably a founding member of Gas Light Squares (Tacoma).
Bob was a regular fixture at Puddletown dances, fly-ins and IAGSDC conventions. He was also usually on the floor two-stepping with long time partner Ralph Starr at Timberline Tavern.
Bob lived in Edgewood, WA, for almost 30 years. He was active in VFW and veterans service for 28 years, and was the Quartermaster for the post. He had also been the District Quartermaster for several years.
