Robert Edwin Herald

April 10th, 1960, my mother held me, her week-old daughter. She desperately wished to attend the wedding of Robert, her older brother, and Sharon, his love. Her wish became a reality and she attended the wedding at their parents' home in San Francisco, California. While standing away from view, she nursed me. I soundly slept in my mother's arms while she joyfully watched the ceremony.

Having Aunt Sharon and Uncle Rob in my life since April of 1960 has been enriching in endless ways. Their support, guidance and love will always be fueling my heart.

I had the GREAT FORTUNE to know Rob and Sharon through our swim club in the Los Gatos Mountains . He was an avid swimmer , a dedicated family man , a raconteur and philosopher. I will never forget the day he and Sharon offered their support when my husband died suddenly. Sharon breathed, I LOVE ROB SO MUCH , MY HEART IS FILLED with EMPATHY for you . . . SHARON, MY HEART IS FILLED WITH EMPATHY FOR YOU ! ! ! YOU TWO have been MY GIFT and MY BLESSING ! ! ! KNOW that I SURROUND YOU in LOVE and LIGHT and HOLD YOU IN MY HEART ! ! !

Our SORROW is due to OUR GREATEST JOY in HAVING KNOWN HIM . HE was a BLESSING , and WE were BLESSED ! ! ! But he LIVES ON in the stories we tell, the hearts he touched, the children and grandchildren who live on and through HIS GREATEST LOVE, SHARON . NOW , He is a GUARDIAN ANGEL to oversee the care of his loved ones. HE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED !

I was very saddened to hear of Rob's passing. I have never met a finer man. His intelligence, empathy and kindness were extraordinary. I have many nice memories of his and Sharon's visits to Seattle. It was a pleasure to know him. He was truly a "mensch"

Our sincere condolences to Sharon and family.

My deepest condolences to Sharon and the family. With Love, Robert and Sandra Bozarth

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
