Dear Anita: I am so sorry that you have lost your life partner. Not many people can have someone in their life for that length of time. I only met him a few times, but I thought he had a great personality and enjoyed a good laugh. Of course, if you knew anything about golf, it was easy to start a conversation with him.

You and your family are in my prayers.

Your cousin,

To Anita, the children and grandchildren: I am very sorry to hear that Bob has passed from our lives. I did not know him well, did not see him often but I know of him from the words of others. He was loved by Anita and raised a wonderful family. He must have been a wonderful man.

Jan, Marilyn, and the Burger family:
The Kempf side of the family joins in mourning the loss of Bob. He was well-respected and well-loved from us here in St. Louis. Our dad, Fred R Kempf, was his cousin - only Jan Long and Marilyn Wandersee remain of the six cousins in that generation.

Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during these days and years ahead. We hold him close to our hearts.
