I have so many wonderful memories of Bob, a man who loved the Lord Jesus and lived out that love in faithfulness to his wife, his family, his church and his friends. His servant's heart was evident to all as he served many others, both in the church and outside it.
We shared many meetings, many joys, and many breakfasts at K&W, his favorite breakfast place.
May the Lord give comfort to all who experience sorrow over the loss of Bob, knowing he has entered into the presence of his...
