Not sure what to say?

Bob and Bev are good folks. We were neighbors back in the 70's. Have many fond memories of Bob such as help with plumbing issues, playing pool in his garage and horse shoes in the evening. We were also on a bowling league for a few years. I was lucky enough to get invited to his hunting camp in Manton Mi. Also included my dad at the hunting camp. I often think of Bob and Bev since we moved away in 1979, which Bob helped us with our move.

you will be missed by all of us

he will be greatly missed

Bob, we all love and miss you and the life we shared. Over 50 years of memories of our good times together that passed too quickly. You made our lives full with your fun loving spirit, the knowledge you shared, and the helping hand you were always willing to lend. Thank you for being a huge part of our lives. Love, Rick and Beverly DeBlecourt

I had privilege of working with Bob at Building 38 Portage Rd for Wheeler Blaney Co. Bob was one who had patience with me. He was a very good teacher, friend. I think of him often. Hopefully he has put the tools away On his way to heaven
