Guestbook
When I think of summertime as a child, the Tschida comes to mind. I lived across the street and would ride my bike or scooter up and down his driveway all day then mrs. Tschida would pick me some flowers. I’d be about to go inside for the day and see that mr. Tschida fell asleep in the yard in his chair. My family came by last summer to visit our old neighborhood and we stopped by to chat with mr. Tschida. I’m so grateful that I got the opportunity to talk with him again. He was so fun, charismatic, and generous. He genuinely cared for those around him. He will be greatly missed. Praying for mrs. Tschida and family through this time.
Bob was a wonderful and great Man. Always made everyone laugh. “Brother Bob” will be greatly Missed.
Rest in peace!
