To Sharon and family: My Mom (Marge Rengert) and I are very sorry to here about Bob. I would always look forward to reading your Christmas letters with my Mom each year and marvel at all you would overcome and the trips you enjoyed. I know that you and Bob touched many lives with the Love of Christ. I pray that you and your family will be comforted in knowing that Bob is with the Father and his deeds on earth will never be forgotten. If you could would you let us know when you plan on the memorial in West Falls. Thank-you Georgia Rengert Georgia Rengert (West Falls, NY)

Sherry, our prayers are with you and your family. We can't adequately express our love for Bob and gratitude for having known him and been his neighbor for all these years. He was like a 'resident' DAD to me. He has left a tremendous void. We love you and are here anytime you need us.
