Tracy and family,
We are very sorry for your loss. We didn't know about it until tonight. I worked with Neal for a long time in the mill and we used to see him at Rubins a lot. He always seemed like a pretty good guy. He always seemed to feel good even while we knew he must have been uncomfortible.

Joyce and family....I cannot imagine how your heart is aching at the loss of our sweet Bobby. Vic and I thought the world of him. You have all been in my prayers since I heard of his sickness, and you will continue to be now that he is with our Lord. He was such a pleasure to be around, and seemed to beam when he spoke of you all.....
If there's ever ANYTHING I can do for you, you know I will.
Much Love, Carolyn Megginson.

Our hearts go out to you today and we know that you all have lost a wonderful one in your life but just know that the Lord is there with His Arms wrapped around each of you. Psalm 30:5 reads "Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. You have a special gardian angel to watch over you now and he has no more pain or suffering to deal with anymore. He loved each one of you and he was a special friend. You have many memories to hold on to. We will miss him and our prayers and thoughts will continually be with you. We love you all. John and Brenda.

Linda and I have missed talking and joking with Bobby at Ruben's Too since we moved to the other side of town. He had a special personality that we both appreciated. Keep the great memories and be assured of his heavenly reward.
