Aloha Phyllis! So sorry to hear about Bob. We've known you and Bob since High School days and remember the fun times as Youth Directors at Flint Bible Temple. It was so good to see you at our Flint reunion at our home in Fl. That was the last time we saw Bob and know he is with the Lord. We are praying for healing for you and Dawn. We talked with Jerry and Cheryl Hairgrove regarding Bob. They are also sad. Pastor and Glenn Armstrong Kihei, Maui HI

Dear Dawn,

I cannot tell you how very sorry I am for you and your family. My mom heard the news from the Boike's and shared it with me today. Know that my family is praying that God gives all of you the strength and comfort each day that you will need to get through this most difficult time. We will be mourning him too in our own way as your dad meant sooo much to me and the rest of my family. I always think about the fact that your dad was the one who took my dad to church with him when they were just young boys and that was the Sunday that my dad accepted Christ as his personal Savior. To know that my dad is in heaven only reminds me of the part that your dad played in that. The memories that I have of your dad coaching us girls and the patience he had to coach us girls always makes me smile. He truly was a man of God and meant so much to both Heather and myself!!!

With love,

Becky Speicher (Johnson)

Dear Phyllis,

I had a great deal of respect for Bob's skill playing golf, but his greatest impact was found in his testimony for the Lord. God Bless you.

I am very sorry to hear about Bob. He was a good coach for me at Faith, but he was a better teammate on the mens team for many years.
