Prayers for Bob's dear family.
One of my favorite books is "Heaven" by Randy Alcorn. A big book that I've not completely read. This excerpt brings my longtime dear Brother-Friend to my heart and mind and describes him for me:
"Do you have a close friend who´s had a profound influence on you? Do you think it is a coincidence that she was in your dorm wing or became your roommate? Was it accidental that your desk was near his or that his family lived next door or that your father was transferred when you were in third grade so that you ended up in his neighborhood? God orchestrates our lives. "From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live" (Acts 17:26). Since God determined the time and exact places you would live, it´s no accident which neighborhood you grew up in, who lived next door, who went to school with you, who was part of your church youth group, who was there to help you and pray for you. Our relationships were appointed by God, and there´s every reason to believe they´ll continue in Heaven."
Until we meet, again, Bob!

Bob was an Amazing Person & Friend. I admired his Christian Values, His Heart, His Love for Julie & his Girls, His Sense of Humor, and his Gift for healing People. Over the many years of our Friendship, Bob patched me up & helped heal me after numerous injuries from training horses. He always made time for me, visited me at the hospital......I owe so much to him. I will miss Him So Very Much and Always Hold Him Close in My Heart

I worked with Bob at GHC. What a wonderful person. Very kind and compassionate. Always willing to share his faith. I have some good memories of those conversations. Bob will be greatly missed. My condolences to Julie, Sarah and Megan.
