  3. Julia, We are so sorry for your loss. Bob was one of our group that was well loved by all. He always made everyone feel special. Bob will be missed.

  4. Julia and Family,
    Bill and I are so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. I remember him from Groce and always selling the brooms for the Loin’s Club. He was always willing to help usher when Bill needed him. Such a pleasant man and a good family man. May God wrap his arms around you and your family, giving you each Peace and Grace at this time of sorrow. In our prayers!

  5. In my lifetime, I have never known a finer man. I worked with Bob for 8 years and never did I see him angry, or speak harshly of others.

    Julia, Beverly, and Alan, you were so fortunate to have Bob as a husband and father, and I have been equally blessed to call him friend. He was a True Gentleman!

    Please know each of you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
