Nancy and family,
My name is Jack Kalina and I had the pleasure of meeting Bob when I was a buildings manager in Seattle and surronding areas. While we never really worked together I did have numerous occassions when I had a change to chat with Bob about the business and our respective jobs. He was a good man, a kind man, a smart man, and a man that people really liked. I'm sorry to hear of his passing but I'm very glad that I had the chance to know him just a little bit. Cherish the good memories that you have and always know that he made many friends in his life and I'm proud to be one of them. If you believe, one day you both will meet again.
Sincerely,

Jack Kalina

Although it's been many years since I last saw your dad (high school, early 80's) my heart hurts for you and your family and the tremendous grief that accompanies the loss of a loved one. Please accept the entire Hasbargen family's condolences and be good to yourselves until life becomes gentle again.
With love,
Bettyanne
