Barbara - my deepest sympathies and thoughts are with you. I was unaware of just what an extraordinary man your father was - the apple does not fall far from the tree though, so I should not be surprised. Thinking of you during your time of loss.

Mrs. Rollins,
First of all let me start by telling you I am so sorry for your loss. As you know, Mr. Bigelow was my absolute favorite member at the credit union. I will miss his smart alec comments and his complaints of having to always take out money haha. He always made me laugh. I'm sorry I didnt get to see him too much at the end as I transfered branches. I will remember him always.
My thoughts are with you and your family,

Barbara and Family,
Bob and I served together as fellow "Colonels" in the Old Dominion Squadron for many years. During our long acquaintance his charm, good humor and quiet leadership were always present as was his appreciation of history and his love of flying. It goes without saying that our Squadron, of which he was a founding member, and the Commemorative Air Force have both lost a good friend. I'm sure that I echo the voices of many when I tell you to take pride in the way...

To Barbara and Family,
I'm so sorry to hear about Bob. I'm writing to you from Los Angeles, so I won't be able to attend the funeral. I remember those wonderful walking tours he used to lead...so full of information about our history. Maybe we can revive the tours in his memory.
