Bob was a wonderful person, a Believer, a good husband and father. He was a special cousin to me. Bob will be missed. May God comfort each of you and fill you with His Peace.

I loved Bob very much. He, his sisters, and I spent a lot of time together growing up. Our mothers were twins, and that made our relationship special. He was a good man in every way and will be greatly missed. I pray that God will comfort and strengthen each member of his family. May your hearts be filled with happy memories.
Love, Jerri
Bob was our neighbor. Though our conversations were brief, there was something that felt like I had known Bob and Marsha for years. It became clear we shared our faith in Christ Jesus. Not through conversations, but through the kindness they showed me after a back surgery. I pray God will comfort Marsha and family, and they will feel peace through this time of loss.
Sincerely

It is the small, often unrecognized acts one carries out in life that prove to be most important. The love and self sacrifice one devotes to family, friends and others is what matters. I know Bob embodied these principles. I witnessed it everyday we lived side by side in our neighborhood. I have always been proud to be Bob’s friend. Nina and I wish to convey our deepest sympathy to Marsha, their children, grandchildren and Bob’s many friends. Rest in Peace, my friend.
