Nancy and family - I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Your brother was a talented man. I am hoping you can move from the past health trials to only wonderful stories and memories.

Mary, I am so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I have many fond memories of working with him at the bank. He was such a friendly, genuine person and was liked and respected by all. He had a way of making everyone's day a little better with just his laugh. Prayers for you and your family.

Mary and Family, My prayers for peace and comfort to you all during this time. I have many good memories working with Bob during our time together at Home Fed S & L. Bob was an integral person in my life as I was fresh out of Catawba College working my first official job as a college grad. Getting to know you, Robbie and Amy during that time is a lasting memory as well.

I remember working with Bob years ago at F&M Bank. He was a wonderful person to work with. I know his family will miss him.

So sorry to here about your Dad. He is rejoicing in Heaven. Praise God. Know you will miss him
