I never met you Bob but my wife J.H. always said we would have gotten along quite well. She passed away in December and before she went, she said she was looking forward to seeing you, your sister, and your parents on the other side. I hope you are all enjoying your reunion on that distant shore.

RIP Uncle "Sob", here's some of my photography for you, you always encouraged my art.

I'm really missing my uncle "Sob". We didn't always get along but the fond memories of him are many and his influence made me a smarter stronger person.

Bill & I remember Bob and Jean Ann from so many years ago when he worked with Bill at the NLRB. He was such a fun-loving person and quite a character. We are so sorry that we lost touch over the years. Jean Ann, we know that you will miss him. Take care of yourself. With warmest regards, Connie and Bill Engler

I learned yesterday of Mich's passing. In his home town of Caledonia Minnesota, his dad was Bob Sprauge. I knew his dad fairly well even though there was a huge age difference. When I moved to the East Bay it was on my list to reach out to him to share memories of his dad from White Fish Lake but sadly, I got to busy with the day to day business of earning a living. My uncle said Mich had a great sense of humor as a school kid. Once asking a teacher if Davey Crocket fought in the first World War.

I remember Bob from when we both worked at the NLRB in San Francisco. I am sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you.
