People remember the way you make them feel and that is what I will remember about my Uncle Bob. He made everyone feel valued and unconditionally loved. He smiled with his eyes and he could make anyone laugh. He was one in a million and he will be forever missed! Love to the Andel Family.

Dear Marie:Judy and I will miss Bobs' sly wit and compassion for others. The forty plus years I have known Bob,I do not believe he ever uttered a disparaging word about anyone. He was a Prince of a fellow. Clint and Judy Cummings

Dear Family:

I "worked" with Bob for 3 summers and several Christmas seasons at the Squires Shop run by Al Childress.

Bob was just a big kid always good humored, very engaging and quick with new jokes every day.

Even though I was in college at the time he treated me like an old friend.

He will be sorely missed.

My very best regards to Lynn and rest of his family.
