Bob was such a blessing to our family. If it wasn't for his bold faith in Jesus my sister Emily and my brother Ernie might not have made it to heaven. He was not afraid to share his testimony, and his personal relationship with God. He was generous, funny and caring. Isaiah 57:1 the righteous are taken away to be spared from the evil to come. My condolences to you all. Evelyn and family

Offering my sincere condolences to the Family, may you find comfort from the encouraging words found at 1 Thessalonians 4:14

I have to say that Brenda has been an awsome daughter;especially during the hard time. Though I did not know her father I'm sure he will always love her from a distance. He has certainly raised a marvelous daughter! I could see how much she loved him and how much she will miss him!

To the Family,
Just wanted to let you know how much we both enjoyed working with Bob during our many years at Demetre Ski Sweaters in Ballard. He was always quick to help and kinda goofy too. He had a good sense of humor and was always able to throw up out some great one-liners that I remember to this day. I think my favorite was "Did you walk to work or carry your lunch". Another good one I recall, He would pull out a measuring tape and ask "How long are you going to be here" Pretty good stuff, I'd say! Bill and Bob were co-workers at the sweater factory and I just want you to know our "good" thoughts are with you today. To the rest of the family, I share in your grief and hope you remember the good that Bob brought to the world.
I'm sorry we cannot be there today, but will make a donation to Community Dinners in Greenwood on his behalf.
Our condolences

Dad,
You were a blessing from God and all a son could ever ask for and then some. The love, laughter and things you taught me will be with me forever. You were above all a man of God and set the best example for all. I will carry you in my heart always and draw great comfort knowing I will see you again. The legacy you left will live on forever. With all my Love and Respect, Bruce
