I have been told that Bob C. Jr's mother was an attorney. She and Robert A. Sr. had an argument about her flying cross country on a case. As an apology, he had a dozen red roses delivered to the plane before takeoff. The plane exploded shortly after takeoff, witnessed by father and son. This was about 1943-44. I don't know if this was Jeanne or another wife. Robert Sr later married Elsie. (Don't know her last name)
and she raised Bob. Opal and Patty spent a lot of time with her even after Robert Sr's death.
