Sorry for your loss. Many who have lost a loved one in death often feel the pain of loss for years. Remember, God patiently listens to our prayers.

Captain ( at that time) Hobbs was my commanding officer in Korea in 1963. His tireless efforts to strengthen the American and South Korean alliance is deserving of far more recognition than it has ever received. I know. I was there. A few good men served as role models for me in my early years and Captain Hobbs was certainly one of them. He was a great soldier and a true patriot.

I did not know Mr. Hobbs but read his obituary and was moved by the very thoughtful sentiments and what appeared to be a very rich and fulfilling life. My condolences to his family and may God bless his soul.

OUR DEAREST LEO
Leo has been one of the most beautiful people I have ever met; kind, gentle, and sweet to the core. Although I had only known him for a few years, I asked him to walk me down the isle at my wedding. He was more of a father and friend to me than even my own family. He will be greatly missed, loved and NEVER EVER forgotten. David and I love you and feel your loss extremely deeply, our dearest Leo.

With wonderful memories of Leo and Karen. I am so glad I was able to visit him when I was in COS last summer. We did a lot of skiing together and we all had a lot of fun. Light a candle for me to light his way to Heaven.
