Today I realized your wife passed and thought about how you are doing? I realized you passed already. Bob was one of my favorite stops back almost 40 years ago. One likeable good dude. Rest in peace.

I came back home and stopped by the store. It wasn't the same not seeing him in there. We used to have long talks in the office when I came home. I miss that.

There are those that are and were pillars of the community, and Bob was one of those! Even though the store has a new name, it's still remembered as Egolf's in my book!

I was new to Churubusco, Bob gave me a job and the sense that small town pride lived here in this community: proud of this area and people. Thank you for that reminder, Bob. God bless each of the branches you, Bob; planted in Churubusco that feel your loss today, tomorrow and on. Prayers for Betty and Egolf Family till you see him again. Karen and Lofty

Bob you were a great boss and even greater man. It was an honor to get a job at Egolf’s IGA and work for you. I learned a lot about hard work and being friendly and cheerful to friends and customers. Qualities I always saw in you. May God bless your wife and family with eternal memories of you. I always enjoyed seeing you at the Wand when my dad and I would be there having a meal. I will miss you. Your ex employee and friend. David Parish

To my friend Bob. Thank you for all that you did for me over the years. You were kind and generous to a fault and were always willing to help me no matter what. Although I worked for you, I always thought of you as a friend. I will miss seeing you when I come home and may peace be with your family. The store and community will never be the same.
