Bob, you were one in a million and the memories that you have left behind will never be forgotten. From delivering milk to my home when I was a child to the bowling days with Roberta I will always remember that smiling face. God Bless you and your family and may God be with you all during this time of sorrow.

Susan and I will remember Bob for many things but for three in particular: (1) his love of service as an Electricians Mate in the Navy during WWII, (2) His love of his family, both by blood and by marriage and finally (3) his love of cards, especially euchre. We're going to miss those Saturday nights with a fulfilling meal and many many games of euchre. Our thoughts and our prayers are with you.

Kathryn,

My thought's and prayers are with you in this difficult time. Even though I did not get to spend a great amount of time with Bob, I will always remember him as a man with great character and humor. I know it is difficult time for you, but take heart he is with God now, telling him his stories of the time he spent in the Navy! The scripture below tells us what God has in store for Bob when he reached heaven, so please take strength from his word.

John 14:2 There are many rooms in my father's home and I am going to prepare a place for you. If this were not so, I would tell you plainly.

To the DePue Family - I am sorry for your loss. I remember Mr. DePue and the horse-drawn milk wagon very well. We were on his route and on those very early cold mornings, my Mom and Dad would ask him to come in for a cup of coffee or hot chocolate to warm up before he continued on his way. Years later I saw him and he remembered my parents and even my name. He was always a very nice, friendly and courteous man. I shall keep you all in my prayers.

My deepest sympathy to all of Bob's loved ones. I will always remember his bright smile and twinkling eyes - may all of your wonderful memories of him comfort you during this time of sorrow.
