Wayne and Larry,
We just heard today of the passing of your father. We will always remember Robert's service as Sunday School President in the Milwaukee 2nd Ward, his love for Wayne King and the provider of music at many of the dances held in the "cultural hall". Our thoughts are with you.

We just heard today of your loss. I have many fond memories of being in your parents' home and seeing their beautiful Christmas trees. Also of being taught by Wayne and Larry in Aaronic Priesthood. Our family's sympathies.

Wayne & Pam,
Your Father was a dear man. We enjoyed talking with him when we celebrated Jordon and Leann's wedding. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
