Not sure what to say?

Bob, a fascinating man I will remember fondly. I will relish many Thanksgivings, Birthdays and dinners with Bob (and Pat). My sympathies

I only met Bob in late February through my job as a Home Instead caregiver. I was fortunate to spend a few hours a week with him every week up until the time he died. I wish I would have known what he was like when he was 30 or 40 . . . or 70 but I appreciated his humor, his wit and his interesting insights into everyday occurances. I brought his Sunday paper inside when I'd arrive at 9 a.m. Once, for whatever reason, the comics were on the outside of the paper. He always read the comics...

We always enjoyed visiting with Pat and Bob when we would get together at the Hanson's. Our sympathy to Pat and to all of Bob's family.

We treasured Bob's company through the years and always enjoyed his charm and intelligence. He had a Twain-like sense of humor that caught one off guard with it's quick insightful wit. He will be missed.

Bob, Pat and me (as a little girl) enjoyed the summer days at Bob's house.

Some of my fondest memories are summer gatherings at Bob's house, rolling down the hill that was his backyard and the trips we took to Door County. I will miss Bob and the times we shared very much.

Mr. Behling was a lovely and sweet neighbor - long before fences were necessary, he was delighted when Benny, my black lab would visit him. My parents and Mr. Behling took care of one another as neighbors should. We were so blessed to have known him and to share a neighborhood long before it was filled with development. We were some of the original folks who lived on Hillside Drive. He was loved by all of our family.
