Dear Graper family,
We were so saddened to hear about Bob’s health battles and recent passing. He was a dear, gentle man who always went out of his way to share a kind word or ask about ourselves or our family. We will forever remember his sweet smile and kind gestures to help our family when we were in great need. He definitely had many a crown awaiting him and now is free of pain and suffering and for that we are so grateful. I know he will be greatly missed as your loving father and lifelong partner, but just know he will always be remembered fondly by our family! We have many a shared memory as Danville residents and fellow Lakeview congregants. Our families have lovingly known each other for decades and have always kept each other in our prayers. Out hearts go out to you Sandra and to all the kids. I’m thankful he had you all to care for him in the last years of his blessed life here on earth. May God surround you with his peace during this time. We continue to lift you all up in prayer. Love you all!

Dear Gwen, Jenny, and the Graper Family,

We had the privilege of working with and knowing Bob during our years at Lilly, and always knew him to be a man of principle and integrity, which few can emulate. Bob was a highly regarded "old guard" among all those who not only worked with him, but knew of his trusted reputation. We pray for God's blessings and strength to sustain you at this time. Our love and deepest sorrow,

Dear Gwen, Jenny, and all the Graper Family,

We were very sorry to hear about Bob, and had the privilege of working with and knowing him during our years at Lilly. We always knew him to be a person of the highest integrity and caring spirit about all those with whom he interacted. It was our pleasure to be associated with him, and he leaves behind a legacy which few can emulate. We pray for God's Blessing and strength to all his family and friends.

I had the privilege of working with Bob for most of my financial career at Lilly. We travelled together across Europe and the UK as part of his investor relations responsibilities. I watched his successful interface with all of Lilly's shareholders on Wall Street in good times and challenging times. He was voted the outstanding pharma investor relations professional by Wall Street Analysts many times because of his honesty and integrity in conveying information. It was those same qualities that made him loved and respected by all Lilly employees who came into contact with him, as well as his family!

Dear Wendy & Graper family,
My most sincere condolences for your loss. The only opportunity I had to meet Mr. Graper, Bob, was when Wendy invited me to play softball many years ago and he was there. Bob seemed like a very loving Father and a very caring person. My first and lasting impression of him was his contagious smile and his fun spirit. My prayers are with you all and am hopeful that you each can feel God’s comfort during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Juani Briones & family
