Not sure what to say?

I worked, hunted and fished with Bob for a lot of years. What a great person and friend.

You have our deepest Condolences and prayers of peace and Comfort from the UAW Local 651 Retiree Chapter

So sorry to hear about Bob. I will always remember him for his love of fishing and hunting but especially for his laughter. He still had that laugh when we saw him a few months ago. Prayers for you and the boys and their families.

So sorry to hear of Bob's passing, Ron and I are praying for your peace and comfort. We sure had some fun times back in the days of Hopewell.
Ron and Eva Baldwin

Judith, I can truly share your grief. Bob was always so sweet. Love and prayers headed your way. You probably heard that I lost my sweetheart in August. God bless. Love and miss you still here in Greers Ferry, AR.
