Dear Elaine, Robin, Rhonda, Amber,
Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your husband and father. We were your neighbors over forty years ago on Fountain Street. My mother's favorite hairdresser and friend! I have so many fond memories of Bob! My sister and I were childhood friends of Robin, Rhonda, and Amber. Take comfort in knowing he loved his family more than anything, and hold onto those precious memories. May God comfort you. God's Blessing to you all.
Dad with Angie with dog.

The Waltrip family: My husband and I worked for the City of Allentown for 30 years. I worked with Bob at the WWT plant for all my years. Bob was a great guy, very nice to talk to(as most good male hairdressers are!) I considered him a friend. Thoughts and prayers go out to your family at this time!
