Norma and family,
Over the forty some years that we have known all of you it is with great sadness that Bob had to go. I just want you to know how much I LOVE and cherish our friendship and hold you all in my HEART. May GOD grant you PEACE.
Love you,

Bob was a character... always had a laugh for a good story or a funny joke and partnered with Norma they could have easily been another George and Gracie... I remember as a young girl getting to sit around the kitchen table while they played cards with my parents, Ted and Dorothy Van Kempen... what a treat for me though I never could figure out what was so fascinating and entertaining about cards...all the counting, and trumping and hollering Uno ~ it was all lost on me but it was fun to...

Mark and family:

Please accept my condolences on the recent loss of your father. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Mark and Family,
Mark I am so sorry to hear about the death of your father. May you find the strength to move forward from your family and Dave. You are in my thoughts. Big hugs!

Dear Family,
Grandpa Olson was an amazing person. His smile could light up any room instantly. I will miss him so muchhh! He was the best grandpa anyone could ask for...even though i selfishly wish he was here with us, im glad he is no longer hurting. He held on for a long time and for that he will ALWAYS be in the back of my head.
I love you grandpa.
&& my family. We will get through this.
:]
love,
katie

I had the honor of taking care of Bob. I loved his sense of humor and toothless kisses. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
