Dear Thieman family,
Bob was one of my patients at Bethesda North Hospital back in May of this year (I was his dietitian). While I did not have the opportunity to get to know him well, he and you, his family, left a lasting impression on me, showing me what true love and devotion you all have for each other. Please accept my deepest condolences on his passing, and know that he is not forgotten by those whose lives he touched.

Elaine, siblings, children and grandchildren,
My deepest sympathies. It was with great sadness to recently learn of Bob's passing. Bob and I were acquaintences in high school and good friends in college at Miami University. During my senior year, we made several trips together back and forth between Oxford and Dayton to see our beautiful Good Samaritan School of Nursing sweethearts.
Those trips were always fun--made extra special through Bob's zest for life, his infectious laugh,...
