Dear Charlene, and family, you will never know what impact Bob had on my life. He gave me the courage and confidence to step out on my own, to be my own boss. Years after I painted for him in Battle Creek, I left the paper mill, and started my own business. He was a true friend, when I needed one. Sorry to hear of his passing. David Ikerd

Dear Charlene and family. My wife and I are so sorry for your loss. You are probably thinking, "Who is this guy?" My wife and I reside at 11844 Yorkshire. When we bought your house, we knew it was a God thing! We also are Christians and we could feel the peace and love that was in this house! It was so awesome when your son David showed up on our door step with the picture of the house from an air plane. I am so sorry I did not ask him if he would like to see the house. Let me say this Charlene, if you or the kids would like to stop by and see the house for your memories, please call us. Our phone number is 269-731-5977. I plan on coming today to the funeral home. God Bless you and your family!!

My heartfelt condolence to Charlene and her family on Bob's passing. He was a gentleman who I respected greatly. I had the pleasure to work alongside him 1986 to 1998 when we were International Animal Health Marketing Managers at The Upjohn Company, Kalamazoo, MI. He was an even-handed, positive-thinking, hard-working, knowledgeable, consummate professional who I counted as a friend. We shared cubicle office walls; had coffee and lunch breaks together; and enjoyed conversations on our break time walks outside Bldg. 190 at the Upjohn farm (weather permitting). We worked together through countless project and strategy planning and implementation meetings; travelled together both domestically and internationally for subsidiary meetings, conferences, and customer visits; and we shared good times and sad times. I vividly remember Bob humorously saying several times as we faced particularly challenging marketing projects: Let's go make some lemonade from these lemons! Always positive. While time, distance, and life separated us the past 20+ years, I have always valued knowing and working with Bob. He loved his family-his friends-his work-his life. I hope Bob's loved ones find comfort and peace as they share hugs and memories of Bob's life.

I have often thought about you and your journey with Bob. I will treasure times of the fall church cookouts and the debates the men had as to whether the chicken should be par-boiled before putting onto the grill. He was a dear person, very willing to pitch in. I will keep you in my prayers as you and your family face these new challenges.
May God Bless you and keep you always safe.

So sorry to hear about Bob. He was a wonderful neighbor and friend. We always enjoyed his visits and meeting up with him when he was out walking the dogs! He will certainly be missed by all who knew him! Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time. May God hold you in His loving arms in the days and weeks to come and give you peace.
