Bob's simple yet profound faith in Jesus Christ, his scripture sharing, and his humor...this is what I will remember. I appreciate the privilege of visiting with him at ECMC and interactions on the phone. Love, Blessing, and Prayers

I had the pleasure of becoming friends with Robert when he was at ECMC. He was such a blessing to all of us. He loved his family and friends and he always had an
encouraging word about Jesus. The good news is that we know where he is right now - at peace with Jesus. All Robert wanted in life was for his family and friends to know about Jesus and to be with him in the Kingdom of God. What a celebration that will be!

Dear Nancy & Family,

Pastor Mark shared with us last night during Wednesday evening service about the passing of Bob. I'm sorry to hear of his passing and I'm sorry that I was not aware of his wake and service. I would have wanted to attend.

I was blessed by knowing Bob. He always encouraged me and when I was a new Christian he always gave me great passages from the Bible. I also enjoyed the songs he sang of his Saviour Jesus. I will miss him.

Once again, I'm sorry for your loss, but I look forward to the day when I will see my friend again in heaven.

Your Friend in Christ,

Greg Mittner & Family

Dear Nancy and Family,

It was a pleasure and a Blessing to have Bob as a neighbor. He was an interesting man to talk to and always had The Word to share. Bob was a true "man of God" and a Faithful Servant for the Lord. He always spoke about the Kingdom of God and his desire for all of us to see it one day. The Lord has taken Bob home and I know he's singing, dancing, and praising the Lord likes he has done many times before on Earth.

God Bless You All,

Bill Parucki and Family

Bob called us at Evangel church almost every day asking for prayer for his family and for himself. He was always ready with a Bible verse for us, most often about God's love.
