Ward and I were saddened to learn of the death of your son, Bob. We were neighbors on Pleasant Lane in Rochester. Bob was a good friend to our son, Ted.

Life is short at the longest, but we are sad that Bob was taken so early in life.

May you be comforted as you mourn his loss.

Diana, Nick and Clayton,
Chance, Jon and I were so sorry to hear about Bob's passing. Bob, and you all were so good to Chance and I know he really enjoyed hanging out, fishing and camping at Lake Sangchris, riding motorcycles and just being outdoors together. Bob always had a friendly smile and hello. He will surely be missed.
Thinking of you,
Tracy
