Not sure what to say?

Three years go by so quickly! Memories last so much longer. May the Grooters family be blessed with gratitude for the 'long' life of their dear father and grandfather.

To Barb, Dawn, Dale, Daryl, Rick and his grandchildren, In loving memory of a wonderful person. Bob was always a gentleman and very funny. I am sure you will all miss him dearly.

Barb and kids, We send our deepest sympathies in your loss of a wonderful husband , dad, grandpa, and friend .
Dave recalls great times at Hager Park Memorial Day breakfasts . Bob, with his warm laughter. Then there’s many years of Spyder Lake slalom skiing .
