Dear Kim and Dave,
I am so sorry for the loss of Bob. I do not think in all of the years that I have known Bob I have ever encountered Bob with any demeanor other than pure kindness and always a willingness to help or please anyone and everyone way before thinking of himself. His beautiful smile made everything ok. He will be deeply missed. I feel honored to have known him.
with love,

Kim and Dave,
I am very saddened to hear this about Bob. My condolences to the Hanners family. Bob was a great cousin with a heart of gold. Bob and Dave were always there to help out and come visit on every Christmas. Great memories. Bob would pick me up and take me to the motorcycle races back in the day. Memories that will never be forgotten. I am so sorry for your loss.
