To Gail and Family, We are sorry to hear of the passing of Bob. I worked with Bob on the night shift at MSW for many years. He was a great man and I will always remember to his way of training me in the gas business and his support as Kathy and I stared in our married life. He was a great influence in shaping our lives. You and Bob were a great example of a loving family. I am sure your family will support you in this hard time. We send our love to all. keeping you all in our prayers.

My condolences to the family. I'm sad to hear of Bob's death. He'has been a strong man through many adversities. But even stronger was his faith, that carried him through the last decade, and into God's promised eternity. We leave him, as ever, in Jesus' strong, capable hands.
