Not sure what to say?

One of the nicest men and leaders I have ever had the privilege of knowing. RIP Bob!

Dear Marilyn, I was so sad to learn that Bob passed away. I considered him to be a real friend, and had great respect for his opinions and wisdom. He was a straight-shooter--an enlightened individual who had the courage of his convictions. My deepest condolences to you and the family. Michael Robinson, Sr.

Dear Marilyn and family-
I remember some amazing and very thoughtful Sunday school lessons Bob gave when I was young. You and your family were a very loved part of our ward family. Bless you as you go on without him for now. I hope you rest assured that you'll be reunited and blessed for your great family devotion and good living. Tanya Robinson Wadley

Dear Marilyn,
Sally and I offer our sincere concern for the loss of your great husband. Please know we love you and appreciate that wonderful family you two have raised. So many memories from our years in High School and since.
Richard and Sally Forbes

Dear Marilyn, so sorry for the loss of your wonderful husband. We both have thought fondly of you over the past years since East High.
Our sincere thoughts are with you and that great family.
Dick and Sally Forbes

There is no comment in the obituary about his serving with us in the 144th Evacuation Hospital at FLW, MO, during the Berlin Crisis for a year. That made him a veteran, and he was later an officer, as I understand. I have posted on the 144th Website the obituary. He should be given a US flag and honored at his funeral. Dr. Lon Pearson (E-5) during our year in Missouri, and 33 years in the military.

My sincere condolences to your family for the loss of your love one. May the God of comfort be with you during this sad occasion and may his loving words at John 6:40 console your heart.

I am so sorry for the family's loss. You may find comfort through fond memories and the loving hope found at John 6:40.

Dear Marilyn'
I was saddened to hear of Bob's passing. God bless you and your family at this most difficult time.
Sincerely,
Kay Galli
