Time has past and yet I still remember Bob as a very vital man. It was my pleasure to serve the Lord with him at Institute and as pulpit supply at Hamilton Baptist. Since Bob's passing to heaven, my dear wife Dawn has passed as well. Heaven is sweeter for their presence there with the Lord Jesus. See you soon Dawn and Bob at His feet. Rev. Michael Green

Glendee,
I was happy to have the opportunity to talk with Bob at our 50th year high school reunion after not seeing each other for many years. It was clearly evident that Bob was very happy with his family, his work and his life. You and he got the prize for the most grandchildren, which made Bob very proud and pleased. Bob's life, while way too short, was one in which he made people happy, both in his work and in his personal life. You and your family have our sympathy.

Dear friends, "Mr. Wakeman" will be missed. When I was in high school, Reed and Lane became close friends of mine, and I visited often. I remember his smile and his gracious hospitality. God be with you,

Dear Bob's family. We live close to you and our hearts are heavy hearing of Bob's death. He was a gentle, caring man and this was reflected in his life by the way he cared for his family, land and animals. Our interactions over the years were serene and interesting, usually sharing all kinds of information with us. The world will be lost without his presence. May The Lord bless you with abundant comfort and peace now and the time ahead.

All of at HPS are very saddened by the news of Bob's passing, I had the privilege of working with him on our Engineering committee, our condolences go out to the family. Bob was a very hard worker and his insight and knowledge of the industry has helped so many. I always enjoyed our conversations, they usually centered around what was important to Bob: Family, religion, work and farming, I was always especially fascinated with the farming as I am a city boy. His leadership will be greatly missed.

Sorry I can't be there. Bob was and is an example of a follower of Jesus Christ. It was my joy to know him in several settings. I can't wait to join him and our Savior someday soon. Until then Glendee and friends we watch and wait and serve the Lord. May God's grace and peace be yours until Jesus comes. Pastor Mike Green
