Not sure what to say?

So sorry to hear of Bob's passing. My condolences to you, Delores, and your family. Our 1960 Class will miss him.

Sorry for your loss. I worked in the same area with Bob at Steelcase. Great guy. I couldn't believe I actually heard this because last time I had seen Bob a couple years ago he looked great and didn't look much different then when I knew him at Steelcase.

This man befriended a very lost soul and had direct impact on bringing my heart to the Lord. Most people have that "one person" that lead them there, and for me it was Bob (and his bride Deloris). How could I ever repay? The talks, the hunting, the dinners, church services - I am forever grateful. Two of the very best people I've ever known. Deloris - my prayers to you now and the days ahead. Love you so much.

Dear Delores and Family, Mary and I express our deepest condolences to you. We are your neighbors just up the street and we will miss seeing and talking to Bob. He was a true gentleman and Christian. May you find peace and comfort in a trying time. God bless you. Scott Sprague.

Dearest Forbes family, our hearts are broken with yours but also rejoice in knowing it´s only goodbye for a while. We will never forget the testimony he constantly was to our dad thru many years. Dad finally accepted Jesus as his savior during one of Bob and Dolores´ purposeful visit to share the gospel with him once again. Dad passed away only months later. We will always be overwhelmed with gratitude for that! I can only imagine the reunion they have shared these last hours To God be the...

Dolores and family, Bob was special in so many ways, I will always be thankful for our friendship, God bless.

Dear Delores and Barb, Daryl and I are so sorry for your loss. Bob was a good guy. With our deepest sympathy, Sandy Barnaby

Dear Forbes Family - so sorry to hear of your loss. Our prayers are with you all.
