I heard with sadness that my valued neighbor 'Bob' Stuemky had passed away with a couple weeks of me traveling to Colorado to see him and Maria. Bob was the best person you can imagine having as a neighbor. He was a truthful, caring, interesting, a gracious host and genuine person. I tried to visit Colorado from my home on the east coast at least once a year and call him in between to hear his stories and get the news of Cedarwood Colorado where our properties were located. in this photo from May of 2000 bob was telling me of his plans to build a house on the escarpment (located actually more behind him than the direction he is pointing). I remember Bob being a very devout and observant man (he sang in the choir (but I don't think I ever heard him sing), he loved nature and the outdoors, he loved his family and his dog walking/running companions, he appreciated a simple fix that worked over a fancy fix and was appreciative of kindnesses shown him. I loved having him as a neighbor, given his love of nature my property was very convenient to roam around on so I was comforted in knowing someone was looking out for it when I couldn't. I am going to miss talking to him as he was full of knowledge (both book smarts and life smarts) and could provide content and the perspective of history. I plan to say a final goodbye when in Colorado about a week from now. Given it being almost Easter for my family, I remember Bob always saying jubilantly He is Alive when I would call him this time of year.
