Not sure what to say?

I was sadden to hear of Bob´s passing. We worked and traveled to work from Back River Road for years. Bob was a good friend and co-worker. He was an outstanding family man and believed in Jesus Christ.

Having known you “Luey” for some twenty years, since your days as a rookie teacher at Salem High School, I cannot think of a better tribute to your father than to recognize the fine man you grew up to be. May love surround you. May your father rest in peace.
