Not sure what to say?

Bob was my mentor, my friend and I miss his handshake and big smile. May God bless his family for their loss.

Deepest sympathy. Mr. Colville was my first "boss" out of law school and was always a kind hearted soul. Always said "hi" to me and, as a young lawyer, it meant the world that a man like that acknowledged a young lawyer. He carried this same spirit as a judge and was always a fair man.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
