Ken and Ruth first touched our hearts when they showed up on our doorstep 34 years ago with a pot of delicious soup and a loaf of fresh baked bread. As neighbors, we were recipients of their kindness many times over the years, and we're so thankful for them and their family.

Rest In Peace Mr. Dobbe. So grateful for your kindness back in 1966 when my family emigrated from Scotland to Springfield and I attended Douglas School. You were our first experience in the American school system and our family appreciated your help and compassion. Fly high with the angels in eternal peace.

Please accept my deepest and heartfelt sympathy. May the God who binds up the broken-hearted comforts all who mourn, and sustain your family during this challenging time.(Isaiah 61: 1,2.)
