I'm so sorry to hear about Bob's passing. Thank you for sending the obituary so I would be aware. I opened it too late to go to the funeral or viewing--I would like to have been there. He was amazing--so giving! I am honored to have been the recipient of his woodworking skills. He was a special man.

Luana,
You were a wonderful wife to Bob..."nobody really dies as long as there is someone left who remembers, when their is no one left who remembers, it really doesn't matter because we will all be together again" (at least those who accept Jesus as their personal Savior) Love you, Sherry Martin

Dear Luana, we have been privileged to be a part of your family with the marriage of your Natalie and our Robert. Bob was a true craftsman, taking pride in a job well done and in teaching his grandchildren his skills. He was so generous in sharing some of his woodworking trucks and walking sticks with us. He will truly be missed. Thank you Bob.

Dear Aunt Luana and family,
We are so honored to be a part of your family and to witness the life of Uncle Bob and his passing. He died as he lived; with integrigy,courage and straightforward "no bones about it" simplicity. To see the family come together and everyone there to send him off was a beautiful thing and was a wonderful final accomplishment. We will cherish the amazing handmade gifts we have from him and remember the lessons he taught through his example. Our prayers and love are with all of you.
Jeff and Keri

Luana, even though it has been many years since we saw each other, we were just kids in Kearns, Please accept my deepest sympathies, I never met your husband, but knowing you, he must have been a wonderful person.
