Maxine and I want to express our deepest sympathies for the loss of this dear man. Our memories of him always include twinkling eyes, a smile, good sense of humor, and a totally handsome (he looked like Elvis when we were teenagers) man. Our love and prayers to all who were fortunate to know this good person. He will be deeply missed.

Dear Emily, John and Family,
We are remembering all of the time we had with Bob to enjoy his humor, devilish demeanor and when he was standing there you realized how much he took in and thought about. It was such a pleasure having business time with him and we appreciated all he did for us....but most of all we were blessed with his friendship. We miss him greatly and have all of you in our prayers and thoughts.
