To Pat, Mark and the Entire Regan Clan,
We send you our love and sincerest condolences. To a person, our entire family felt that your dad was something pretty special. There is no one who could more accurately be described as a NICE PERSON -- a genuine human being in the most positive sense of the word. We couldn't have asked for a better companion for our mother and addition to our family gatherings. The Regans have been nothing but wonderful to us and we thank you and hurt for you in your loss.
Love,
Leslie, John, Loren and Reid

Will never forget that "Bob" was the only person to call me "DeeDee" even as an adult. I think he was the one who gave me the nick name when I was brought home from the hospital as a newborn. My family and grandson enjoyed the many conversations with Bob over the years.

Dear Mark and Family, Ray and I were sorry to hear of your fathers passing. We both know how hard it is to lose a parent. We are thinking of you. Take care, Ray and Carol Gragg

My first real job was working for Drs Warrington and Gustavson where I met Ann and Mildred. Much later I worked down the hall from Ann when the office moved across from Providence Hospital

Ann and Bob seemed to be able to manage home, children, work and play with ease which just impressed the heck out of me. They were a great couple who I adored.

I am happy Bob found a soulmate to share his life in later years.

He was man well loved.
