Russ, so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. He was such a wonderful Godly man. No doubt he is getting his reward in heaven along with your momma standing there to great him as well!! What a reunion !! Sorry we were unable to come to calling hours or funeral as Roger had his rotator cuff surgery yesterday. Please know we are keeping you and the rest of the family in our prayers. God bless , Roger and Kathy

Uncle Bob. Always had a smile. I got to come back and visit (from California) a few years ago. When dad (his brother Dale) and I went to breakfast, we went to "one of the churches" on his list that he routinely went to breakfast. He liked going to whomever was serving that Saturday. Afterwards we drove around in he and dads 'ol stomping ground. It was fun to listen to the two of them talking about their childhood. I'm so glad I recorded much of it. I didn't get to see him often when growing up then moved away as an adult but remembering him was always a pleasant thought. I spoke to him on the phone a few weeks ago. His memory was begining to fail him but he remembered me. I'll always remember you Uncle Bob. With Love.
