To Auntie Dorothy and my Wamser Cousins:
I am so sorry that I can not attend services, as I am stuck in North Carolina with finals and work, but please do know that your whole family is in my thoughts and prayers and in deepest faith I know that Uncle Bob is in a better place.
With Love and prayers,

Uncle Bob & Aunt Dorothy - you raised an amazing family and built a legacy within your family to be proud of. I still have great memories of the summer travelling out west in Uncle Bob's van. Uncle Bob never got upset with the dirty black footprints on the inside of this van ceiling (I'm sure it was Laura's idea) or the time we told him the "coast was clear" just as he crashed into the "horse trailer" on our way to the rodeo! Thanks for all you did for our whole family.

All our love, Kerri, Paul, Kellyn & Benett Singer

There are too many good memories to recount in this short space. I am sorry that I am unable to attend the memorial service due to my class schedule on Wednesday evening. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers, but I know that Uncle Bob is in a better place. He was a committed Christian, not only on Sundays, but every day of the week. He practiced his faith by always volunteering to help others whenever he could do so.
The thought does occur to me that Bob may be inspecting St. Joseph's carpenter's bench right now to see if he could improve upon the design. Requiescat in pacem.

To Auntie Dorothy and my Wamser cousins,
When I think of Uncle Bob I think of family time. Playing in the tree house in the back woods, sneaking around in the basement near Uncle Bob's tools ( a no-no), playing on the world's rustiest swing set. In my mind I can see Uncle Bob hard at work in his garden and maintain his yard. Knowing if you casually dropped by in the late summer you would go home with plenty of lettuce and veggies too! Thank you Uncle Bob and Auntie Dorothy for including me and my children into your immediate family circle. God Bless Uncle Bob!
