The passing of Uncle Bob has been very touching to many. He has allways been a respected and looked up to family member. My mother Mildred, allways spoke fondly of her brother. Uncle Bob may haved moved on to be with the Lord, but his memory and love for his family will live on - -

I heard of Bob's passing and just want to convey my sincere sympathy to the family. I have not seen Bob in years but recently we were looking at his wedding pictures. It brought back some wonderful memories. I was married to Bob's sister, Ruth Ann, who passed away in 1984. Hopefully time will ease your burden knowing he is with the Lord.
