We will miss Mr. Sandstrom at Renaissance Gardens. He was a faithful attender at our church services, and the Eucharistic Ministers from Olivet Episcopal send their condolences. May he rest in light perpetual.

To Vallary and Suzanne and your families: We truly loved Bob especially after our mother passed and the two Bobs formed a wonderful friendship. Sorry to have missed the funeral; did not learn of his passing until today. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
With sympathy, The Bob Boyle family and the Barbara Kenney family

Bob Standstrom was an amazing guy, a patriot and a "founding" member of the the "greatest Generation" in WWII. When Hank and Sue first introduced me to him when we were in college, he was a towering and somewhat intimidating figure of a man. But over the years, we grew to know him as a wonderful and dedicated father and grandfather and a good friend. He will be missed by us all. John and Renee Hoffman
