Glenda,
I saw this yesterday in the Miami Herald. I remember when we worked together at MIARR hearing a lot about "Bobby" and know that you loved him very much.
My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Dear Glenda, I will miss Bobby as I missed the many phone conversations I had with both of you. Just the day he died at the mini-renunion I told both Jim and his wife (Harris) your address in Murphy so they could call as they moved and built up that way. sorry we lost touch in the last few years. Thought Bobby had the luck of the Irish and after his last illness would live forever. I am sure Anna ( his mom) is now with him. Please call me for anything.

Yes, Bob is in a better place. God called him home for a purpose. It's always sad to lose a loved one, but, we can rejoice that he is with our Heavenly Father. Let God's love fill your heart and be at peace during this difficult time. May God abundantly bless you.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Went to High School with Bob, and was in DeMolay with him. Knew and used his cleaners in Miami. God Bless you.

I was so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. The thoughts of many Pioneers are with you at this time of sorrow. In addition to being close friends and classmates, Bob and I were in the same Navy Reserve unit and brothers in DeMolay. He was always there when help was needed. It is sad that he is no longer with us, but a blessing to know that he is now in the hands of the Lord. Please, let us know if there is anything Malsoon and I can do to help you through this time of sorrow. While he is gone, he will not be forgotten as he will live on in our hearts and prayers. God Bless. Skip and Malsoon
