I am Kerri Koch (Tucker) and Robert was my father. My parents were married in 1970, not 1979.
ReplyDeleteI love this site. I loved seeing my father and my uncle's name in the "twins". It's been almost 5 years now since Daddy left and we all miss him so much everyday. He has two grandsons that he would have loved to have played with. My husband never got to meet him. Thank you for having this on here. It meant alot to stumble across it :)
Kerri, Thanks for your note. I have corrected the date of your parents' marriage. So glad you found the site.
