I was sitting down at my grandma's house for a visit not knowing why, and everyone was around me looking at me with a tear in their eye. My mother came up to me and said "Honey, grandpa Bob... passed away." I broke out in tears, remembering my memories with him and his funny birthday cards he would send me every year. I miss him so much. Goodbye Grandpa, I love you.

I went to order supplies at the Pay-Less Office website and saw the newsflash memorializing Bob. My heart just sank. He was the nicest man and would always come into the credit union with the warmest of welcomes. It meant so much when he called me by my name and always made sure to ask if I needed any supplies or if I had any questions. I didn't know Bob much outside of our supply relationship but it was so easy to see he had a heart of pure gold. Heaven has absolutely gained one of the brightest souls. My heart goes out to all his family and loved ones.♥♥♥

God Bless you, Bob.

Thanks for being such a great man to work with over the years. Bob was always ready to lend a helping hand if needed, and always asked how my family was doing. I enjoyed working with him these past few years and will miss him.

May God wrap his loving arms around his family and friends and provide them all with comfort and strength during this difficult time. Prayers to all.
