I have known Bob since I was a little girl and the Schaefer family were responsible for me going to Zion Lutheran Church. He always like to tease and called me Caroline instead of Carolyn just to annoy me. I will miss his
teasing. Our prayers are with Betty and his kids and grandkids at this time. But we know he is in a better place.
God's Blessings,
Carolyn & Ed Hawkins

Betty, I want you and your family to know that my prayers are with you at this time. That your belief and trust in God will provide you comfort.

I have known Bob for many years not only as an Architect but as a State Representative, and family friend. I affectionally referred to him as Cousin Bob due to our families all settling in the same area of Nampa, growing up with each other, and raising our families in Nampa. I was fortunate enough to avail myself of his wisdom in regards to various issues during his tenure serving on the City of Nampa's Planning and Zoning Commission, Nampa School Board, as well as a State of Idaho Representative dealing with legislative items that affect our daily lives. Bob always was quick with a smile and had a great sense of humor. Even during his battle with prostate cancer, he was upbeat. God's speed Cousin Bob you will be missed.
