Marlene, Bob showed me the ropes on how to serve folks as a Loan Review Committee Volunteer. It was an honor and a pleasure to work with him. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I was fortunate to see this obituary for Robert. His mother and my grandmother are sisters. My grandmother is Martha Dahl Hennefer. Aunt Kay came to our family benchmark events faithfully. I have no doubts that Robert is now swapping war stories with his brother Billy and my Uncle Bud. Our sincere condolences at his passing.
