Bob served in the Marines at
same time I was serving in the
Navy in the 1960's; we go back
even further than that. I'll
miss you, Bob.

Chris, Judy & Family:

Bob & I went way back & I
just now am finding out
how much I miss him. He
was a good friend, always
there. I miss you, Bob

To Bob's dearest family:
I hope you keep the faith to get through this time of sorrow. Remember ALL of the good times...that's what keeps you going.
Also remember WHERE Bob is, along with his wonderful mother "JO"!!
We will miss Bob with his mellow mannerisms.
Take care...we love you all!!

Dear Ray, Judy, and family,
So sorry to hear of your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with each of you during this very difficult time. Find comfort in knowing that he is in a much better place now and that there is no more suffering. Take care of each other.

Sincerely, Jodi Reding

I knew Bob "back in the day", when we were both young and impetuous. The steady roar of his cushman scooter was always a welcome sound. It sounds as though he never lost his dry wit and caring nature. Rest in peace old friend.
