It has been my honor to have known Bob and Carolyn since we were in school together and rekindling our friendship in recent years. My prayers go out to Carolyn and family as you know Bob is in a far better place where he no longer in pain. My love to you all...

We now thank the Lord for bringing Bob home for now his suffering is over. Though we never met physically, he became my best friend via the computer. I will miss our daily/nightly chats. My wife and I will always fondly remember him and you, his loving family.

Bob and I are nearly twins with birthdays only days apart. Bob would e-mail me every year to remind me how old we would be. Bob loved birthdays and holidays! We had many laughs when he wrote to ask me how I felt about Medicare and Social Security. "I'm not going to be 65!" He wrote back, "We were born in 1941 Do the math." Bob faced a challenging illness with strength and humor and Carolyn. We will miss him but he has earned his heavenly peace. May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.
