Dear Conner family,
We were saddened to hear just today (7/8/07)of the passing of Bob. He shared so much of himself with so many. His acts of kindness and his life will not be forgotten. As Bob Krinner said Bob C. taught him so much when he knew nothing. Bob was a great leader and never asked to be, he simply was one to be followed. His unselfishness was a trademark of a great man. Our heart cries with you all. Trudy and Bob
