I’m so sorry to hear of Uncle Bob’s passing. I remember him as always being happy and eating Klaptan crunch cereal as he called it. I can also recall when I was much younger and went to visit at the farm just outside of Brandon when we would ride horses to the highway to meet him coming home from his food store. I think it was fun for all of us but the horses didn’t like it. We made them run. My condolences to all. Jeff - Posted by: Jeff Toffin (Nephew) on: Jan 27, 2024
