Not sure what to say?

Remembering Bob and all the good times together. He is truly missed. Rest in peace dear friend and may the perpetual light shine upon you. I hope you were there to greet Duane and are having a blessed time together.

You have been in our thoughts and prayers always but especially last month as we sadly remember Bob's passing last year. May you find comfort with loving family and friends. Love and big hugs, Duane and Alice

What are neighbors? They are the people who ask how are you... how's the family? Neighbors are the people next door who you lend hand when asked and after a while you just lend a hand. You help out with the neighbor's computer. They invite you for a dip in their pool. They have you over to try their latest find of wine or even better, enjoy a good glass of scotch together. You enjoy playing card games in the evening. You exchange Christmas cards over the years. You watch each other's kids...

Such a good teacher and co-worker at Fremont Jr. High in my first years of teaching...in the previous century! I taught his kids later at Parkrose Senior High. Saw Bob and Sharon many times afterwards. Such a kind man. May his memory be eternal!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Bob always had a smile on his face! He taught at Parkrose Middle School when I was a secretary in the office there.

We first met Bob and Sharon as preschool parents when our children were small. Our son became a reading student of Bob’s at Russell in 1977. Bob was exactly what our son needed.
We seem to run in to Bob and Sharon frequently and he always asks how John is doing. Over 40 years later.
May God bless his family.

What a great guy Bob wise. Always ready to raise his hand to volunteer and help, always a gorgeous smile when he met you, always so proud of Sharon and so obvious that they loved each other whenever you saw them together! A good teacher, always gentle and caring with kids. It was a great pleasure to work with him.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
