Bob was one of the most kind and gentle persons we have ever had the pleasure to know. He was a gift to our neighborhood from the day he and Nancy moved across the street from us.

Mr. Dingman was one of the kindest gentlemen I ever met and his beautiful wife. I got to know him for the last 10 years while working at Fino's Pharmacy. I will miss his kind ways and words. He was truly one of my favorite customers and glad I saw him just a couple weeks ago. I am so sorry Mrs. Dingman and family. Brenda

Nancy, I was so sorry to hear about Bob's death. Those of us in the library knew him more from your conversations than in person but we always knew that you and he had such a loving relationship. You will miss him terribly but you did make many wonderful memories together. Sincerely, Martha Gurdin

Dear Nancy and family. So sorry for the loss of your beloved husband Bob. He was one of the nicest guys Bob and I ever had the pleasure of knowing at S.U.M.C. He will truly be missed. These words of sympathy are sent with the hope that, as time goes by, cherished memories will help bring you inner peace, and make your loved one seem still very close to you. May he remain forever in your mind and heart. We will miss Bobs singing in the choir and his great smile and kindness. R.I.P.
