To the Flower Family,
Bob was such an extraordinary man who was always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. My son, Ryan, thought the world of Bob, and was forever grateful for his assistance in the scouting program. Bob will always be remembered for his kindness, thoughtfulness, generosity, patience, and the respect he showed to everyone he met along life's path. Bob lived an exceptional life, and is now at peace with his Lord. He will be missed, but never forgotten.
