Monica, Bob Jr., and Debbie,
We are so sorry for your loss. We moved to Cherrywood in 1978. Bob was always so much fun at our neighborhood annual Cherrywood picnic in the "big backyard" of the houses on Pleasant Drive. Rest in Peace, Bob. You will be missed!

Our condolences to Bob’s family. We know the Doans through Silver Creek. Such nice, friendly people. Bob will be missed. Dick and Toni Burke

Bob was a great friend and neighbor to the Rentschler family as we were growing up! His smile and enthusiasm was contiguous. Although our parents are gone we know that heaven is a better place with Bob at the gates welcoming all!

Hi, I just wanted to extend my sympathies to Bob Doan. I went to school with you at Saucon Valley and just recently my father went home to be with the Lord. My prayers go out to your family

Bob was the supreme gentleman. In addition to golf we solved the world´s problems on the fairways and greens. He was well read and humorous beyond mention. I will miss him dearly and May he Rest In Peace.

We all loved Bob. A true gentleman. Funny, sympathetic, inquisitive, and charming. He was a comedy show with his lovely Monica. So missed, and so happy to have known him. Forgot to mention his golf prowess. RIP. Loved you Bob.
