my condolences to the Ballewag family. I remember Bob very well. He and my dad would clear off the little pond in the Pueblo Mountain Park in Beulah so our two families could ice skate. we went to the same church and I have good memories of Bob and Alice, Ken, Bernie and Lori. he was a good man who lived a good life. RIP.
Everything good I learned as a little boy growing up on Elizabeth Street came from men like Bob Balleweg. He was my mail carrier and my friend.
