Dear Deanne and family. I have many fond memories of going through Seminary together and meeting from time to time after. May God bless and strengthen you all at this difficult time of loss.

So many memories from childhood days on our family farm. Roberts family lived with us for a brief period, and sister Shirley and I always included in our nightly prayer "Dear Lord bless Robert, Denise, Stuart and John". My prayer continues for comfort for all those who now grieve his loss--Deanne and her children and grandchildren. Robert has lived to serve his Lord with fervor throughout a blessed life.

Our sincere condolences to Bob's wife and family. We atte d his home church along with one of Bob's brothers and always enjoyed a conversation with him when he visited family and worshipped with us at First CRC in Hamilton.Be at rest in the everlasting arms.Nella,&Walter Sandrock.

Andrea, Matt and family, My condolences. Thinking of you and wishing you peace and comfort.

I met and got to know Pastor Bob when he served at Kelloggsville Christian Reformed Church roughly 15 years ago. I had not seen him in many years, but I distinctly remember his heart for our congregation. As Pastor of Visitation, he selflessly cared for God's people during both times of joy and times of difficulty and loss. I hope and pray that you all receive the care and love of God through His servants here, as Pastor Bob did countless times for others.

Bob was always supportive of my brother no matter what was going on. He was a light in a dark tunnel for him. I´m so thankful for how he ministered to him when others .. including myself, grew weary.

Bob is a Christian brother and dear friend. We grieve over his departure and look forward to seeing him in heaven and the new earth. God bless his lovely family.
