Bob Dempsey's Passing

Bob Dempsey, husband of Daphne, passed away recently.  There was a celebration of his life at the Bothell Senior Center on Saturday, March 26, 2011.  Attendance was approximately 70 family and friends.  Dad and I saw family who we have come to know these past few years and met some others for the first time. 
Dennis "Den" Dempsey, son of Burt Dempsey, prepared and read a memorial to Bob.  Den has given me permission to publish his tribute to Bob on the Staeheli family website. 
Daphne graciously greeted all the people present to honor Bob.  She is managing well and still drives so gets to appointments and social events as she chooses.

  1. Sadly, my first awareness of Bob's death was as I read your blog, Tom. My loss... I have fond memories of him and Daphne from my childhood. They always enjoyed visiting with Grandma Lola long after Grampa Staly passed away.
