So sorry for your loss. I work in the deli at Wal-Mart on 21st street and we have all been wondering if he was ok because he was a regular and we hadn't seen him in quite awhile. Such a kind man. We will definitely miss him. Sincerely, Bonnie Fannin

Bob was a special neighbor and friend. He always took time to say kind words to our family and we enjoyed his presence very much. We are so happy to have known him and so happy that he is now with his wife that he loved so much in heaven.
