Robert "Bob" Lee Ingram

"I will always remember his jolly chuckle, his wide, beaming grin, and his short and chubby stature. No, I am not referring to Santa Claus but to my grandfather, a man whom I admire more than anyone I have ever known. He is one of my best friends and his love and guidance have brought me to be the person I am today."

"When my grandfather walks into a room, it immediately lights up and everyone's mood changes for the better. This is because he goes nowhere without a big smile on his face. He greets everyone he sees with a 'Hey honey, how are you,' or a 'How's it going buddy?' He lives his life happily, in God's way, like every man should."
