Judy, my heart aches for your loss of Bob. Such a long life together and though the pickiness you must feel, I rejoice with you that he is in the arms and in the presence of his Savior, his Lord - King Jesus!
Judy, I remember double dating with you and Bob. I remember your and my days without Jesus in our lives. I have told our stories of walking to Baldwin Grade school together: the stop at the donut shop on the way. Then the time we saw each other at B´ham Bible Institute and how surprised we were to see one another - sharing our testimonies of salvation!
I have been trying to contact you. We have a lot to catch up on.
In the meantime ER, I feel your loss. Love, Diane Pickford Eskew

A Former Apprentice

Bob was my foreman in the Pontiac Motor Electrician's Trade School. Bob was an excellent teacher, knowledgeable, patient, & had a sense of humor, just a nice guy. He kept the subject interesting even at 3am, while he taught electronics on midnights. Thoughts and prayers to the family.

I used to own Hod's TV and Bob was one of my great customers! Once while they still lived over off of Huron Street, Bob gave me a Statler Brother cassette called "Radio Gospel Favorites". To this day, anytime I hear a Statler Brothers song I think of Bob. My condolences to Judy and all.
