Heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family. We were friends with Jane and Bob for many, many years. He was a wonderful man and great bridge player.

Bob was a sweet and friendly person who was a joy to have as a backyard neighbor. My wife Cindy and I spent a lot of wonderful time with him and his wife Jane . Bob was always working on the house the yard and the pool. We enjoyed conversations,car rides and lunches with them at Leo's. Our hearts are breaking and we share in your grief. We miss him terribly and enjoy the memories. Thanks Bob for being in our lives and our backyard. Love you neighbor !!

Bob never failed us, he gave us a better world. With Bob's passing, sometimes memories of him will sneak out of our eyes and roll down our cheeks.
I believe in life ever after; you will see us, you will hear us. So call us once in awhile.
I believe yours is now the power, the peace and the glory of God.
