Marilyn, we are so sorry to read of Bob's passing. We have so many fond memories as friends and neighbors in Long Beach. Bob was always a willing and welcome consultant on our many home projects. He was such a creative "repurposer" and he will be missed by all.

Marilyn, you might not remember me but i know you remember my husband, Mel Wenzel. You and Bob made me feel so welcomed to that Long Beach neighborhood after I became Mel's wife. I was overwhelmed by your kindness and friendliness. I will never forget either you or Bob. My heart understands your pain as I too lost Mel Nov 29 2016.
You are in my thoughts and prayers

Marilyn and family, so very sorry for your loss. I enjoyed working with and for Bob when I was Secretary at Fanning & Howey and later as your Mail Lady for many years. Bob was a great guy and I always thought you were a sweet couple. Miss you both. May God Bless and keep you and your family.

Marilyn and family: I'm so sorry. I remember, fondly, moving to MC from Salina when Dad was transferred with Shaver Partnership. The McKay family welcoomed us to Long Beach and I'll always remember Bob and his smile! Heartfelt sympathy from all the Ewy family!
