Robert 'Bob' was my Mother's husband. He died from injuries from welding accident. . From what I understand, they were welding on a gas pipe and someone had said the gas was off, but it was not. The accident happened about 1:30 pm on Monday, June 8th and he passed away at 3:30 am the following morning. They had no children. From the accounts from my mother Robert was a very nice man. My mother and him were married almost 5 years. When they were both working, he was the kind of husband that realized that it took a women longer to get ready for work then a man; and he compensated by packing both their lunches. He lived for 12 and a half hours after the accident that took his life. As, they transferred Bob by ambulance to a larger hospital, he joked with my mother to cover up his toe; he didn't want it to get sun burnt. Even though he died before I was born, I miss him.
