Bob was always one of my favorite people. He was always kind. Your mom and Bob were the last of my family's friends. the last time I saw them was my step dad's funeral about 20 years ago (al Broderick). I'm sorry for your loss. A long and great life! long and great life!

So many memories pop into my head as I think with love about the times spent with your family throughout Jr. High and High School. So long ago..yet it seems like yesterday. Lots of love to you all and a big hug.

I was fortunate to know Bob during the brief time he lived at The Atascadero Christian Home, where my mother also resides. He was such a charming man and made quite the impression with the ladies who sat at his table....their lipstick seemed a bit brighter and hairdos a bit more in order. I so enjoyed greeting him and seeing his smiling face. I am sorry for your loss of such a lovely man.

Bob was a very kind and gentle man. I first met he and his wife Lorene,what a lovely couple. Bob used to visit me at my work regularly. He loved his Mesquite chicken sandwich. He will be very missed.

Dear Bob, Carol, Betty and other family,
I was sad to read of your father's passing today as losing a loved one is difficult no matter what their age might be. I am thinking of you all. I will be unable to attend the memorial as I will be at the graveside services of my cousins hubby, Ralph Green. My prayers are with you all.

You were a wonderful father figure for us. A wonderful role model for how marriage and parenting should be. A beloved strong Christian man.

This gentle, truly Christian man had a profound impact on my life during the days at Grace church in the 50's, 60's, and 70's. May his family rest in the Lord's goodness at his homegoing.
