What a very interesting man Bob was! I think of him often and the great times we shared in the relatively short time we knew each other, maybe five years! Most of all his great smile and outlook on life! All the best and go Michigan State!!! Bud Fitz

Judy, Barb & I so enjoyed you & Bob's friendship and the many things we were able to do especially in Sebring. We will always remember our Easter Sunrise Service with the four of us on the beach. Bob was a real joy and what a golf companion for myself and of course with you girls. We will miss his smile and friendship dearly. All the best and of course our sincere condolences to you and the family. Sincerely Bud & Barb

As couples, we have had so much fun over the years sharing the joys, love, and laughter that comes with true friendships. Bob has held a special place in our hearts as we found him with his marriage to Judy. We will remember Bob with a smile. Sincerely, Gay and Sue Kurtz
