Description: This plant is dedicated to my late Brother-in-Law, a remarkable man of incredible substance and form... a true star in everything he did!

The ring-bearer at the wedding of he and my sister (Cindy), I grew to know Bob quite well over their 35-year love affair. When he was taken from us all in a freak auto accident 2 years ago, the impact to his family, friends, and entire community was astounding. Though we all appreciated the so many things Bob did for all of us, it was in his passing that we came to fully understand just what he meant to so many people.

As a final surprise to all of us, we learned that Bob was indeed an organ donor. Honoring his wishes, Bob is in fact still helping people in spite of his untimely death.

Response to Bob's selfless final act of altruism was swift and extreme, and by virtually everyone who knew him. Currently, the "Robert W. Federspiel Foundation for Organ Donor Awareness" has helped so many people become alert to what it really means to "help" people at a time of their greatest of need. The project, designed and officiated by his Best Man (Tim Tyson), has produced a fine quarterly publication that helps families make the decision to donate at a very difficult time.


*100% of all profits from the sale of this fine new introduction will be donated to Bob's foundation, and perhaps in some small way, we can all do our part in helping others live full and happy lives.
