Not sure what to say?

Craig and Cherry, I am so sorry to hear about your dad's passing. He was truly a great man with such a tenderness about him. I loved his smile. I know he will be missed dearly. Thinking of you. Judy

Craig, Bev and I are so sorry to hear of your dads passing. Thank you for letting me know. Your dad and I had many wonderful times enjoying photography and conversation together. When I think of this Godly man I also think of Paul's comment when he said "to live is Christ but to die is gain"! That's a wonderful legacy to leave behind. We are sorry that we could not be at visitation or service since we are away for the month of January, however our thoughts and prayers were certainly sent...

When Bob married Aunt Bobbie and he became our uncle, it was truly a blessing to us, our children and our family. He encouraged us always and in the most loving ways. We always enjoyed his stories, music and his photographs. His love for the Lord was always evident and he did his best on this earth. We send our deepest sympathies to Steve, Craig and Cherry. We love you Uncle Bob and until we meet again.

My prayers and sympathy to you all. I'm out of state currently else I would see you tomorrow. What a gift to have a wonderful dad as you did. Hold tight to the memories and celebrate knowing that one day you will all be together again. Dj

We are deeply sadden to hear that Uncle Bob passed. His smile and love for music will shine down upon all as he sings with the Angels. With Sympathy

Craig. So sorry for your loss. I so enjoyed my years in the King's Choraliers with Bob as our director. So many great memories! I am out of town, otherwise I would be at your dad's memorial.

Bob was a man of many talents especially in the world of music. His wife Bobbie was also a gal of energy and both will be missed at Calvin CRC.

Thank you for your service in Christian schools. He was principal when I was at East. Quiet, confident, competent man.
