As Bob enters the kingdom of heaven, I can see the Lord saying "Well done thy good and faithful servant". He always gave and helped in any way he could.

Family, as we continue to celebrate his life, know that you can be proud of the life he lived.

Bob, our dear friend, we will miss you.

Bob was always a very cordial person to me. The years that we shared as members of the Ben Hill UMC Majestic Choir go way back. He also sang in the Male Chorus. My prayers go out to the family during this difficult time. May you all find comfort through your fondest memories as I surely will. God bless!!
