We were saddened to hear of Bob´s passing. My dad, Joe, met Bob at Lynden Christian Care Center - a place I don't think either of them expected to find joy. But Bob was an instant friend, and the two quickly bonded over shared memories and mutual friends from their younger days.

We were grateful to see their friendship continue at Lynden Manor, where they shared meals and many more conversations. Bob was a light to my dad during a chapter of life that isn´t always easy, and we are truly thankful for the companionship they shared.

We are deeply sorry for your loss and are holding your family in our prayers.

Sincerely,

Sherri Willand (Joe's daughter)
