Dearest Norma Neal and all our family,

You are in our constant thoughts and prayers during this difficult time of loss. We know that Bob is rejoicing with the family and with his Lord in heaven, that he is well and at home, but our hearts are heavy for you! We pray God's comfort, peace and unspeakable love over you, and especially this week.

Aunt Norma neal,
I am so sorry for your loss. But I am rejoicing in the knowledge that Uncle Bob is no longer suffering, & he is with our Lord. We will see him again, as you have taught me. I have so many wonderfull memories of the many times I spent in your home. all the sleep overs with my favorite cousin Rebekah. I remember thinking that I wanted to have a husband that loved me as much as Bob loved you, when I grew up. you both were so blessed to have shared such a wonderful life...

Rebecca and family, I am very sad to read of your father's passing. When we were in school - your home was the home I had dreamed of for myself.
The welcome mat was always out and very warm and loving inside.
Both your Dad and Mom took the time to make sure I had what I needed and saw to it that I was comfortable.
I know, you know, you are very fortunate,
Donna

We are sad but not sorry when a great man, who has made a difference in so many peoples lives, leaves us to see Jesus face to face! "Cousin Bob", as I knew him, is remembered with so much love and respect by the whole Keith clan. May the Father grant each of you comfort and peace as you adjust to the void left in his wake. He is a hard act to follow. .

The obituary about your husband and father was sent to me by one of my mothers' cousins, Mary Rodgers Abrams. My parents were Audrey and Wesley Lyons and were very good friends of Bob's. They've been gone 41 years now, but I have fond memories of Tarpon Springs and all their friends there. So sorry to hear of his passing and I just wanted you all to know you will be in my thoughts and prayers as you say farewell to a beloved man to many.

Norma Neal and family - I'm sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I have fond memories of making that curve by your house to take the right hand fork on the way out to my own house back during my school days. I always loved the layout of your house. When we were in high school, Indianapolis was a place I knew nothing about. Who could imagine I'd be living here for the last 30 years? The monument here for the USS Indianapolis is so important to us - I wish I had known Bob was one of the...

My childhood memories are full of your family and how wonderful you all were to have me stay at your home often. Rebekah you are a friend I never forgot. My prayers go to each of you during this sad time but please know that The Lord will bless Mr. Gause for all the wonderful things he did and may He comfort each of you.

Bob will always be remembered by our family. Not only did my Mom work for him, as a family, we often socialized those many years ago and did things together. House Boat and fishing days were wonderful. Tarpon Springs has lost a wonderful man who contributed much .....

I worked with your Dad at First Federal Savings in Tarpon Springs. When I was getting married in 1969 and moving to Montana, Bob was the only one not to question our insanity for doing so. He said we'd love it, and seemed as excited as we were. He also suggested a "Montana or Bust" sign for the side of our 1960 Rambler. The sign made it. So, did we.

I am sorry for your loss and I remember Bob with smiles.
