Meribeth,
I am sorry for the loss of your father. Reading about him is interesting and he must have been a fun person. May God give you and your family peace of mind and comfort. Take care of yourself my dear.

Bob was a wonderful and generous person who I had the honor to call "friend". As a fellow Marine, I salute you and will always remember you. Semper Fi my friend, you will be truly missed.
To your loving wife and family I give my sincere condolences and hope my prayers will be of some comfort. I love you all.

Dodie,we are so sorry for your loss. Bob was always a warm, kind and gentle man. He was always ready with a "war" story. He was so proud to be in the Marines and we were blessed to have him on our side. You and your family are in our hearts, our thoughts and our prayers. God bless you all. Love, Brad and Jimmie

After years in the Fleet Reserve, it was not until the associations gathering this past summer at his home in Toutle for the annual FRA picnic that we got to really know Bob. His pride in his home and the 'memory walls of photos' were testament to his love for his family. We are glad that we got that day to glimpse what a great life he and his wife Dodie had together. God bless his family and God rest his soul.
