I got to know about Bob from his daughter, Ruth.....when she told us stories about him it was as if he was there.....I know it was difficult for her yesterday....It is times like this when I reflect the passing of my own father. You go on but you never really stop missing them. I sincerely hope my friend knows I was serious when I expressed my condolences....he is at peace with God....

Bob Vilcone was a good friend of my parents as they worshiped and work for their Lord at Grace for many years. I have missed seeing him every sunday at church. He was a fine christian man. Karen Penner Christensen
