My relationship with Bob started about 64 years ago at the beach on Lindy's Lake. He was the lifeguard and he was my hero! He was the most caring individual, even as a teenager! One fond memory of Bob was when I had a bicycle accident when I was just about to swim in my first lake championship. I was unable to participate and he showed up at my house with one of his medals:-) There are many more stories, but he ended up being my familie's dentist for many years--never changing that wonderful caring and comforting way. We send our thoughts and sincere condolences and know that your husband, father, and friend made a very big difference in our lives and those of many others---<3 Nancy and Bob Trenz and Family

God Bless.
