Mom loved her brother, Bob. She always told me stories of the good times they had as kids. Uncle Bob would tell them to me when we visited.I miss those stories. And visiting with him at the Shudde Ranch.
Love to all.

I will always remember him as a kind and gracious man. When I couldn’t go home for Christmas, he allowed his daughter to bring me into his home. I will never forget this kindness. My family and I will be praying for your family during this difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Couch's passing. I looked forward to when he would come visit at City Hall; always delivering a signed copy of Couch's Corner, always smiling, and always calling me by name. He will be missed, and so will his positive messages... the world needs more of his positivity! Until we meet again, with your words Mr. Couch... "Have fun"!
