I can not possibly express how very sorry I am to hear of Bob´s passing. He was a wonderful, kind man who loved and was devoted to his family.....it was an absolute privilege to know him and call him a friend. My heart is broken and my prayers are with you all.

My heart aches and at the same time, it is filled with joy because Bob is even now sitting at the feet of Jesus. One of my favorite memories was at a retreat or outing that we were at with Bob and Terry and they went off on a walk together. When they rejoined our group of friends, he had the biggest smile on his face and announced, "There's going to be a wedding!". He adored Terry and in her, found the best life partner. The family they made together is a testimony to their love and faith.
