Our prayers and condolences to you Kelsey and your family.

There are so many wonderful memories we have of Colonel Bob throughout the years. Mostly, he was a wonderful conversationalists and could talk about anything.

With much love, Cheri and Dickie Longori He will alway be in our memories. He will always be in our hearts. Cheri and Dickie Longoria

Thank you for your service to your country and humanity. Go rest high on that mountain, your work on earth is done. God Bless the family of this "servant of the Lord ".
