Bob Pelley secured a lucrative job overseeing the computer processor hub for a well known financial institution and living in Cape Coral, Florida.

His children, a boy and a girl, were young. The oldest was only 13 when his mother passed after a rather quick illness. Bob stayed on with the bank for a while longer, and in the meantime, found a lady who had also experienced recently losing a spouse. They hit it off and wed months later.

The families merged, and everyone had adjusting to do. But as Bob's oldest son, Jeff, sat back and waited for graduation, things at the Pelley home took a turn.
