Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I have fond memories of his and Dillman's stay in Knoxville, when she was the first called minister of the Westside UU church.

It was a lovely service and only wish we could have joined in person rather than by live streaming. Bob was such a good friend through the early years of the Fellowship and we will miss him. Jane & Mike

I did not know Bob very well, I am honoured to know his wife. If she loved him so well so long, he must have been an awesome person. I wish I had met him sooner. Love, Diana Pickens

Though I never met Mr. Sorrels, I knew him for his book on the history of the Clemson Experimental Forest. The book continues to be used in classes and referenced in many thesis and publications. I'm sorry to hear of his passing and sorry that I didn't search him out years ago to express my appreciation in person.
