How Bob loved his church - and how the church and community benefitted from his work and passion. I well remember Bob attending Presbytery meeting with me in Sweetwater. He made me very proud to be his friend. Blessings to his family as you celebrate a life well-lived.

Mr Sears was a loyal patron at Groves Library. He'd come in, return a book, get another book, sit down and snooze for a little bit and regal us with some of his many life stories. His response to our greeting was always, "How do!" We were very sadden to read that he had passed on but will always be grateful to have known him and will always remember with a fondness how we were able to provide with the books he loved to read, especially Clive Cussler. He will be greatly missed by all the staff here. May you enjoy heaven's library Mr Sears!!!!
