Not sure what to say?

He was certainly a delightful person. Growing up as part of the large Penwell extended family was a privilege, as they were lots of fun, loving and supportive. We all carried those characteristics forward to our own families and careers. Bob will absolutely be missed!

Dad your with me always.

Love you dad!

Dad our memories will last forever in my heart.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. Bob always had a smile and a good story to tell! So many memories growing up together in Morton Mills! Glad we got together when he was back a couple years ago!

I know Bob from our Villisca school days. He was a great guy and liked by everyone. I know he will be missed by many.

Rest in peace roomieI‘ll see you again in His heavenly kingdom. We had wonderful years together at Gamma Nu Pike house. Wish we had time this side of heaven.

Bob was a wonderful neighbor and friend. He was always so charming and funny. We thank God for letting Bob touch our lives.

People come and go in your life many barely causing a blip but others like Bob leave a forever impact. From organizational charts to Wreaths Across America and the on point comments about the Post- I will miss his wisdom.
Thank you for sharing your Dad.
