Dear Nancy and family, Bob was a true banking professional and public servant. He brought joy and laughter to everyone he met. May God now welcome Bob into the joy of His heavenly kingdom.

To Nancy, Richie, and the Edgerton Family, Jean and I are saddened to hear of Bob´s passing. Please accept our most sincere condolences. The world has lost a kind soul. I have been fortunate to know Bob since early childhood, our parents and his were close. In our adult lives, Bob became one of the best bankers we have known.

Dear Edgerton family, my brother Larry and I went to Sem with Robbie. He was a very popular guy and well liked by everyone. He loved being at Bill's before the 1st bell.

He was a great person, family man and community leader.

Edgie... he joined us in fourth grade and have been a friend ever since. You were a pillar of the community, the school, your family and just about everything you touched. Rest in peace my friend.

I'm sorry to learn of Robbie's passing. We both were from Sem's Class of 1969. I do remember how funny he was. He kept us laughing. Hopefully all your memories will help heal your heart.

So sorry for your loss. Beautiful obituary that says so much about him. He will be missed.

Nancy and family. Our condolences to all at the loss of Bob. He was a wonderful guy and a good friend. He will be missed by many! RIP, Bob Phil and Judy Decker
