My sincere condolences to the family.

To Bob´s family I had the pleasure of meeting Bob when I called on him while working at a bank. He was truly a gentleman and a great businessman. A very nice person that I remember being easy to talk to. My condolences to all.

To the family of Robert Bitz, Dominic and I send our sympathies to the Bitz family especially to his grandson, Asher, son, Mark and daughter-in-law Lou. I had the pleasure of meeting the family when I was the piano teacher for Asher and a short time, Carl. We are impressed with the legacy of Mr. Bitz Senior with the development of the turkey farm, as well as his other accomplishments. May his soul rest in peace and again our sympathies to the Bitz family.
