Karen,

My thoughts are with you and your entire family during this time of loss. Your Dad was obviously a very special man - and much loved by family and many friends.

Best Regards,

Dear David, Greg, Danny and Family,

Please accept my deepest sympathy on the passing of your father (and husband). Although I had only met him a couple of times, he seemed to have a real zest for life, as your whole family does. I know he will be missed by everyone who knew him.

Sincerely Yours,

Karen, Mrs. Wahl and Family,

My sister, Lisa, sent me this notice from the LHL about Bob's passing and I wanted to extend my condolances.
I know what a pillar of strength and a fireball of fun he was for your family. I can appreciate how much Karen and you all loved and respected him. We can all only hope to be missed as much as he will be to all those who knew him.

My sympathies and best wishes,
Todd

Wahl Family,
I was very sorry to hear about Bob. He was one of Dad's long time friends as Bob was Dad's best man in his wedding in 1956. Their St X class lost 2 great alumni as Dad passed away this summer also. My prayers are with you as you go though this tough time.

I was priviledged to have worked with Bob at IBM Lexington from 1974 till his retirement and blessed to have had him as a friend for many of those years and since. As life would have it, I also separately met Danny years ago and have on occasion spoke with each of them to get a status update on their lives and on the other one too..

Danny and family please accept my sincere condolences as a person who enjoyed Bob's friendship and fellowship greatly and as a man who held him and holds his memory in deep respect. I know he blessed your lives more than mine, but mine was bettered by knowing Bob, and I am grateful too for that investment.

Bob was a wonderful man, and I now many of his IBM friends would join me in expressing our condolences to the family.

May the Lord be with you to provide comfort and love at this most difficult time.

Mr. Wahl is a great man, full of life and love. Grief is a journey that, while intensely difficult, isn't without hope or the promise of enjoying life again. I pray that peace be with you all, knowing you will be together again in heaven.
