Dear Lynn and family, I think of you all often and hoping the tears have turned to smiles of so many good memories. I remember on a card I read said: "nothing that is loved is truly lost". Those we loved live on always. God be with you all.

I'm truly sorry for your loss, I had the pleasure of working with and for Bob while at CentutyTel. Bob was well respected by me and many of his co-workers. The Good Lord took a fine man home and may he find eternal peace in Heaven.

I am sure you have heard this many times; Bob was a legend at CenturyLink, but more than that, he was kind, thoughtful, and a friend. I thought the world of this man, so smart. I will never forget him taking the time to come to my retirement party. It made the party complete for me. Condolences to the family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I am so sorry for your loss. God be with you during this sad time.
