Phyllis,
Greg and I were so sorry to hear that your sweet husband Bob had passed away. I always loved that man and really enjoyed when he would just drop by the house and walk on in. I loved that he felt comfortable enough to do that. I still remember the day that he brought you by for Greg and I to meet. You brought the spark back into his eyes. You were such a wonderful blessing for him. I hope and pray that the memories that you have made will give you great peace during this emotionally hard time. Our love to you.

David and I were very saddened to read that dear Bob has passed away. He always made time to greet friends and acquaintances in any circumstances. He was such a sweetheart, always an epitome of a gentleman. I will miss his sparkling eyes, not to mention his loving hugs and kisses that he bestowed on all his favorite ladies! He will be sadly missed by all that loved and knew him.
We trust that your cherished memories will be a source of comfort and give you strength and the courage you will need at this difficult time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
GOD BLESS,
David & Penny Long

I had the good fortune of knowing Bob Spink. He had a big heart, was reserved about his accomplishments and he had a sense of humor and that twinkle in his eye. When Phyllis came into his life he rebounded in energy, sense of purpose, and life was fun again. You could see that the friendship and love that he and Phyllis had for each other was so real and I think they were very fortunate to have each other. He was a good friend and I am sorry I was not able to see him the last couple of years. I shall miss him.
