Jim,
I just learned of Bobbi's passing. I cannot possibly imagine the difficulty of going through that experience. Although we only spent time with you at our HS reunions, she was clearly a great person. Bobbi and my wife Anne seemed to hit it off immediately, and had much to talk about despite only just meeting. We are so, so sorry for your loss.

Jim, Cory & Molly and Lindsey,
I knew your wife/mom because of my time with the Tallmadge Athletic Boosters. It always amazed me to see what a volunteer go-getter she was for the Boosters, after having already spent all day taking care of the Athletic Department's needs. I am so sorry for your great loss. May God comfort you and give you the courage to carry on the many projects that were so dear to her.

Dear Cory, Jim, and Lindsey, My thoughts and prayers go out to you. Your family is a part of so many of my baseball/best memories. Bobbi seemed like a mother to our whole Thunder team, and I can hardly remember a time when she was not at a game supporting us all. I hope that God can give everyone comfort in this tough time, and I know that she is in good hands with Him.
March 15, 2014
Jim:
My life was richer for knowing your wife. Her kind spirit was such a blessing to me during my jogs through your neighborhood. Your example of faith in Christ during your wife's
struggle encouraged my own faith in the Lord. My heart goes out to you and your children at this very hard time. I am praying for you, brother Jim. -Marc Craig

To the Hindel and Loch families,
Our deepest sympathies go out to you all. Bobbi was one very special lady and will be missed by all who knew her. She was so supportive to us through David's illness. She called David's room at Cleveland Clinic right after his brain surgery. She also fought to have David's name put in record books with Cory's records. You all are in out prayers

To the Hindels and Lochs, Our families go back a very long time. Many of those memories came flooding back to me in the past few days and even in Bobbi's passing, I was able to smile. I remember her sitting on a blanket keeping score with this new guy to Tallmadge Baseball, Jim, by her side. I pray that all of you gain comfort from the thousands of lives Bobbi has touched. I know that she will soon run in to Rick in Heaven and they will comfort each other.

She was such a strong, courageous, and loving person. It was an honor to know her. We enjoyed all the many trips that we took with you and her on the baseball outings. We will never forget those joyous times. The Lord will comfort you in this time of mourning. He has promised to do so; "blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." We will continue to pray for you all. Roger and Thelma Chaffee

I don't even know where to begin. Bobbie was such a wonderful person. I was lucky enough to have married her uncle in 1973 and she came as part of the package, although she wasn't really MY niece, I totally claimed her as my own. We have gone through so many family highs and lows over our years and we were always there to support each other. I've never met anyone as loving and kind as Bobbie. Smart, too, such a thinker. My heart goes out to Jan, Gene, Jim, Lindsey, Cory and the many who were lucky enough to be a part of Bobbi's life.

To the Hindel Family,
There will be many reminders every day in the athletic office of this wonderful lady. She impacted so many of our lives in such a positive way. I will always remember making that morning pot of coffee just before she came into her office so that it was already made for her. She will always be an inspiration to my life - she refused to give up.
March 10, 2014
The Bruno family want you to know how sad we are, yet also how inspired we are having the chance to know Bobbie. Over the years working with and serving with Bobbie have been so much fun.
