Not sure what to say?

I missed him. He was a very sweet spirit and never met a stranger. Attended a couple of his classes. Always had a smile for you and a engaging hello. Sure his wife missed him and was ready to be with him again. Smile !

My Husband Paul and I met Bob at One family church and were privileged to be a part of his Bible Study Group for a year or so. His genuine care and love was so evident from the moment we met. We have learned so much from him about how to walk as Christ did in Humility, truth and love. We will miss him greatly until we meet him again in the Heavenly Kingdom.

I will Remember Bob the most for how He made everyone feel like they were his favorite. Such a godly example of unconditional love and support! Thank you Bob for being an answer to prayer over and over again!
