What a wonderful person to have known. He surely has blessed all of our lives over the years and will never be forgotten by the many wonderful memories he left us with. He was a true servant here on earth and now has gone home to meet his master. We loved you and you surely will be missed.

Bob was like a grandfather to me...after being around for so many years he just became a part of the family. He was always there to lend a helping hand and I have many wonderful memories to look back on. He taught my son many cute little songs and watched many baseball games with him. He surely will be missed and my thoughts and prayers are with you Barbara and Clint and family.

I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Bob. I attended church with him several years ago at Living Hope. He was always such a sweet, loving person. I am unable to attend the service, as I, too, have a death in the family and the services are the same as for Bob. Please know that I am praying for the family.
