Not sure what to say?

I was deeply saddened when I learned of Uncle Bob’s passing. He was an incredibly smart, straightforward man who I will miss. As my grandmother’s brother, he was my connection to my grandmother’s childhood past, and I loved to hear his stories about their upbringing. I will always treasure the fond memories I have of him and feel comfort in knowing he and Grandma are together reminiscing again.

Heather,
Very sorry to hear of Bob's passing. My memories of his visits here are treasured as they were fun, witty and 'no nonsense' in a great way. We enjoyed discussion of both the past and the present reflecting Bob's awareness of what is happening and his insight. I will miss our 'email chat' concerning all manner of topics. And of course, as my mother (your Aunt Charlotte) shared with me I owe Bob my first name.
Love Bob Criswell

Bob my Brother-In-Law, my GOOD Friend. Bob we all had wonderful visits both at our home in San Diego and at our condo in Maui. I grew to love and respect you as my own brother.
We will all miss you. However, I will continue to have little visits with you as I visit with Charlotte, your Sister (my beautiful Wife). I know you are both in heaven having a great chat.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

Heather - I have fond memories of your dad and my mom and their stories of the old days growing up. They loved the tar that tasted like licorice. Then when visiting in San Diego he was always willing to put on his "professor hat" and provide advice to my kids. My memories of both your mom and dad I will treasure forever. I can picture your dad right now sitting back listening with a smile to your mom and my mom chatting away.

Hi Heather, My deepest sympathy. So sorry to hear about your dad. He came to my Aquafit classes at Gold's Gym. He was always kind and personable, and enjoyed the class. He will be missed. My thoughts & prayers are with you.

I was sorry to learn of your loss. As a former student of Dr. Davidson, I appreciated his guidance, intelligence, wisdom and kindness. Though it has been over 20 years since I last saw your father, I often think back with warm memories of his influence on the way I now teach and advise students at the University of Idaho.

Bob and Lee were great neighbors when they lived on Somerset Rd. I saw Bob again at the St. Francis social day program this year and we had a nice chat. So sorry for your losses this year, Heather. Your parents were wonderful people.

Heather, Condolences from the Schneider family. I have many
memories of you and your parents from Henderson Harbor.
