Not sure what to say?

Bob gave me my first sales job working at Florsheim Shoes in 1965. I learned a great deal from Bob not only about sales but about people and treating them all with respect. Bob Tebeau was without question one of the finest men I have know in my life. He will always have a special place in my memory. I will not forget this good man. I extend my sympathy to Rocky and the rest of the family. Go gently into the night my good friend.

To the Tebeau Family:

My name is Dave Kulfan and I worked for Bob at the old Florsheim's on Monroe Avenue in the late 60s, early 70s. My brother Mike also worked for Bob. Mike and I have both lived in Arizona for nearly 20 years but we have never forgotten our friend Bob. I just recently found out about Bob's passing. Bob was the best boss ever. He always made us laugh and made it a pleasure to come into work each day. After all these years please know that we are deeply...

I am so sorry about the loss of your dad. He sounds like he was a great man. You don't know me but I am one of the sisters of Todd Geib who went missing the same time as your dad. It was such a devasting, draining time that we all went through. I remember being so happy for you all when you found him even though the outcome wasnt what you had hoped for. Then a week later we got our tragic news. I cant imagine what people must go through when they are missing a loved one for years and years.....

Dear Tebeau Family, I knew your Dad from the Mall, he was a great person, always stopped to say hello and tell us a joke or two, we send you our deepest sympathy, and just remember he is now telling jokes in heaven.

God Bless, Ruth Smith

To the Tebeau Family,
Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this time of deep sorrow.

Reid, I'm so very sorry to have heard about your Dad, and the two agonizing weeks you and your family had to endure, only to come to a tragic end. I can still remember coming into Florsheim to see you and Wayne, your Dad always made it a point to make me feel welcome. He had such a good heart.
Although it is always hard to lose someone you love, may you have comfort knowing your Dad is an angel in heaven now.

Take care sweetie!

I was so sorry for your loss. I followed the news coverage daily. My family wishes your family the strength to go on. Keep all the memories close and near. We have never met, but our thought's are with you all.

Rachel, So sorry to hear that your father passed away.You are in my thoughts..

I knew Bob only a short time,but what I do know of him amazed me,He was witty and rymed...stories he loved to tell...and his love for his children was overwhelming.And that I'm sure will always be..as he looks on now from Heaven..He smiles a sigh of relief Im sure...no one would want their children to be in eternal pain of not knowing.Even from the other side Bob Teabeu constructed his own search..And he was found..Iam sorry I didn't have the pleasure of knowing him here,Longer...Many...
