My sincere sympathy to his family. I knew Bob at Our Redeemer and I was a greeter at church and got to know him in that way. He had a wonderful sense of humor and believed in Christ. I called him at Christmas time and wished him a merry and told him to never lose his Sense of humor and he hadn´t. May God bless him. Carolee
