Not sure what to say?





Bob was a great neighbor. He was always willing to help us with a project around our house. He was compassionate and caring neighbor. He and Effie made us feel welcomed in the neighborhood. Smudge, our dog will miss getting treats from Bob. He was a truly a blessing to the neighborhood and community. Our family was blessed by him and will miss him but know he is looking down on us.

Our sub-division was the best place I could think of to grow up. The Koehn's, The Story's, The Houston's, The Thompson's and of course The Filip's. Our deepest sympathy to Effie and the kids, grandkids, and great-grand kids. Bob always made time for us kid's to play ball, fix bikes and chase us around.
