Bob, We will always remember you and all the fun we had as neighbors and friends in Palm Bay, Fl.We will always remember the camping trips, playing cards or board games every night. I have been searching for you for a long time, it broke my heart when I found that you had passed away. If only we had found you earlier.

Always,
Jayne and Alan Jones.

Peggy, I'm so so sorry to hear about Robert. I'll always remember the fun Summer weeks that we spent as teenagers at Aunt Sally's and all the trouble we would get into. My prayers and deepest sympathy.

We miss Bob and think about him every time we play tennis. We knew Bob for such a short time, but he fit right in to our group. We are so sorry that we didn't have a chance to know him better. We are praying for you and your family.

Peggy, I am so thankful for our friendship and how God blessed my life with you and Bob. So many times I sat around your kitchen table and you cried with me, prayed with me and laughed with me. You helped me through my own season of grief. And Bob, who I referred to "Crock Pot Bob" was always so willing to come and repair something that was broken at my house. I will miss him. He was a true example of a follower of Christ. I love you and I will pray for you continually. I will also be available to you until you tell me to go away. Isaiah 54:5

How do you say goodbye to someone like Bob. He was a strong man, committed to his God, and loving husband to Peggy. It was an honor to have known him and he will be missed sorely.
