Not sure what to say?

I am saddened to learn of Bob's passing. I know that he will be greatly missed by his family. My heart smiles remembering him as kind, gracious and generous...possessing a charming sense of humor. He was simply a lovely gentleman.

To the Wharton family,

Mr. Wharton was a great gentleman. I
remember him as a well respected man

retired from Delta in 1990 after 31

I send my condolences to his family.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I have fond memories, Nancy and family of your dear father - of all of you-
I send you my love,
Anda Paige
