Robert William Torvinen

We thank you Lord for placing Bob and his family into our lives.
Bob was a very good friend and will always be remembered for his strong faith, strength, and sense of humor. His stories and life´s experiences touched our lives and there never was a dull moment. He had joy in his heart and loved the Lord and was on the quick to tell others the gospel message. He was always a reliable and honest friend and it was enjoyable searching the Scriptures with him. We enjoyed the morning prayer that he faithfully sent out every morning that went from our hearts to the heart of God.
We remember an incident when Bob and Matti went deer hunting in Howell, Michigan. There was a buck with a prized rack that would´ve been the envy of many a hunter; but, this beautiful buck was too smart to venture out of his safety zone being in the confines of the airport boundary. We didn´t get the deer, but it was a wonderful experience. Among other things, Bob´s fishing and hunting and thriving in God´s bounty was a huge blessing to family and friends. He was generous and shared graciously.

31. But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31 KJV

We shall meet again. Rest in peace, dear brother Bob. We loved you. We love your family.
Matti & Elaine Valitalo

I send my Deepest, heartfelt sympathy to all of Robert´s family. My mother, Elsie Leiviska Chascsa, and Wilfred were First cousins. I last saw Bobby decades ago at a ski hill in Ironwood, Michigan. It was such a nice surprise to see him & have a short chitchat after not having seen him since high school.
Truly, the most fun and fond Childhood memories I have are of going to visit the Torvinen´s on a Saturday night with all of my family to play with Jimmy, Judy, Bobby & Barbara.... Jumping in the hay barn and playing hide and seek outside till it was dark.
God bless you all with peace and comfort.

We send our deepest sympathies to the entire family. Wilfred and my. Mom. Elsie Leiviska. Chascsa were cousins. We spent many years visiting each other out on the family farm. I have many fond memories of Bob and all the childhood games we played out there. God. Bless
