Bob was my brother-in-law. He was goofy, outrageous at times, and deeply dedicated to his wife Joyce and his children. We have hope of reunion in heaven through our faith in Jesus Christ, but Bob, years later you are missed. Love and condolences to Joyce, Naomi, Josh, Adam, and all the grands. You are loved!

If it weren't for the hope of Heaven's reunion through our faith in Jesus Gospel, there would be no hope. Thank God that Bob's hope was in Jesus! I've been remembering the best times, like the sound of Bob's laughter when he pulled off a good prank. There were always numerous coffee stops as we accompanied him on a day's windshield repair duties - Bob never drank frou-frou coffee alone. When Bob meet our foster children soon after we knew we would be adopting them, he embraced Amy and Stephan as family without reservations. He was especially kind to Amy because of her handicaps. Mostly, I think of Bob's dedicated rough-hewn love for Joyce, Naomi, Joel, Adam, and his grandchildren.
