Bob passed away in 2006. Janet was well known for her friendliness, kind heart and sound advice. Bob and Janet's home was a regular gathering place for friends and family. At times, their house would be wall to wall people and would overflow onto their back deck and garage. Everyone was welcome in their home and the good times and memories would fill a book many times over. Janet enjoyed traveling with the family, especially on family trips to Jamaica, the Bahamas, and the Dominican Republic. She and Bob also made numerous trips to Montana to visit her daughter, Judy, and her family. She loved the annual family gatherings at Branbury Beach and Button Bay. Janet was affectionately known as "Net" to her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She was adored by everyone.
