Dearest Harlene, Rob, Crystal, Amy, and Joy
My prayers and deepest sympathy go out to you all. One of my fondest memories of my adopted "Papa" was seeing him in his snow suit on the snow blower, covered in the snow fm my driveway that he had just cleared for the "keed."
Love and Hugs,
Helen

Harlene and family,
I am so very sorry to learn of Bob's passing. He was our bus driver at Ludlow school and a very interesting man. I enjoyed our conversations over the years and kept in touch with him via the internet. Most of what I know about trains and train collecting I learned from Bob. He got me started on G-scale and I have built my collection, in part, through his advice and help. I was delighted to help him with the Airstream a time or two in return for tour of the trains, which was amazing.
Our hearts and prayers go out to you and your family. I will not forget Bob and look forward to meeting with him again at the great switch-yard in heaven.
Regards,
Lyle A. Rigdon - Retired Superintendent, Ludlow

Harlene, Crystal, Joy, Rob, Amy and families please know that we are praying for your comfort from our Lord and for His presence and closeness for you during the coming days. Bob was such an encourager for us as we served the Lord, first in ministry to children and then as pastor. We have been so blessed by Bob and by all of you. We love you.
