Notes:

Bob Shiry - 1934-2005 - "He must have been a gardener who cared a lot. Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop. And we are so amazed! We're crippled and we're dazed … a gardener like that one, no one can replace." Elton John, Empty Garden. Some people are remembered for what they've said, others for what they've done. While Dad definitely had a way with words, it's his actions - the way he lived his life with such integrity and optimism and joy that we will remember most. Robert Earl Frank Shiry was a good man. He lived for seventy years. He worked for the K-W Record for 45 years but is life was with his family, a loving and caring husband, dad and papa. His passing has left us - his wife, Marcy; children, Brenda (Tim), Bobby (Angela), and Deb (Mike); grandchildren,, Brooklyn, Satchel, Kristin, Bryn, Dylan, Jazz, Wes - with heavy hearts, but even now the sadness at time, gives way to profound jo0y for having had lived our lives with such a strong, gentle, hopeful, happy wonderful man. - Peace - Please join us as we laugh and cry and remember Dad during visitation at the Edward R.
