Not sure what to say?

We just learned of Bob's passing. We are so sorry, Linda and kids. I know there is a large void now, and we offer our deepest sympathy in this loss. With our love, Lynn & Dave Irwin

Mr. Bob and Mrs Linda was and are my strongest strength yet he drove her to meet with me when I was so down he sat across the room so Mrs Linda could keep me grounded, he drove her to my very first ever birthday party at 55 years of age and not one time was he in a rush so with that said thank you Mr Bob and to your family my condolences and to you Mrs Linda NOW I got you....till we have our next walk our next coffee but most of all our next hug.

Masselink Family, Bob was an adjunct professor in the Calvin Engineering Department for many years. Bob shared his experience with the students when he taught various classes as well as the capstone senior design course. He continued to be an industrial consultant for our engineering students and was a real beacon of knowledge and strength to our students. He will be missed deeply.

Linda, Bob was a great colleague and mentor at Fishbeck. I greatly enjoyed working with him and learning from his past experiences and knowledge of numerous technical topics. I also enjoyed helping him teach a class at Calvin and train new young engineers to use their skills to God's glory. I'm deeply saddened to hear of his passing and grieve his loss with you.

Linda, we are so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I just recently heard of his illness. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Mike and Judi

Mrs Linda so sorry to hear of Mr Bob's death Jin and I are sending love and hugs to you and your family, may our Gid give you strength love and hugs .

Linda and family, I am sad to read of Bob´s death. For the nine years I spent as Pastor of First Church, I always found Bob to be an attentive listener, thoughtful and wise in his interactions, respectful in disagreements, while always displaying a pleasant demeanor. I grew to have great respect for him! Plus, we shared a love for Spartan football and basketball! My prayers are with you and your family during this time of loss and grief. May God´s comfort and care surround you all. Rev....

Fun times with the couples group at First Methodist Church and fun memories of our kids growing up together as well. We have missed see you for many years, but you have never been forgotten.

Linda, My sincere condolences for your loss. My memories of Bob were always tied to his sincerity and wonderful sense of humor. He will be greatly missed. May his memory be a blessing. Marc Samrick
