Robert O. Riggs

Bob and I have a few things in common. We both served with the Marine Corps in Vietnam, and we both retired as Colonels. It all started when, by chance, we entered Officer's Basic School (TBS) in Quantico, VA, on the same date, and were assigned, alphabetically, as roommates. Bob was a great guy, and I really enjoyed his company. After Basic School, Bob and I went our separate ways, in the Marine Corps, and in our civilian lives, but we were in touch from time to time. My wife, Michele, and I actually got together for dinner in Washington, DC, when Bob and Vicki were in town about ten years ago. It was great to see him again, and reminisce about our time in the Marine Corps. I am truly saddened by the loss of a great man.

Dear Vicki, We are very saddened for your loss. We know Bob was very loved and admired and will be greatly missed. We pray that our Lord comforts you and may perpetual light shine upon him.
