Sheila, Allen, Barbara and family, I was so sorry to hear just today about Bob's passing.. We had just talked not too long ago. I know Bob and Henry are above having a good ole time reminiscing about so many things. I can still hear his laugh and loved being around you guys. Just remember the great time you both had especially all the cruises you had taken.

Sheila, Barbara and Family, We were so very BLESSED to have 'Uncle Bob' in our lives! My heart breaks for each of you, for our Village Family and our community. With each passing day may your happy memories grow stronger and brighter and begin to outshine your/our sorrow. Take comfort knowing Bob is no longer in pain and we will be together again. You are all on my heart, in my thoughts and lifted in prayer.

Bob has been a great friend of ours for many years. He served his community and his church with passion, humor and love. We will miss the many phones calls and visits that always left us laughing.

I had the pleasure of meeting Bob many years ago handling real estate transactions for him. He always had a joke to tell and smile on his face. He will be missed. Sheila, Barbara and Allen there are no words that can possible be said for your loss. My prayers are with y'all during this difficult time. He is gone from our sight, but never from our hearts. God Bless!!!
