To the Colton family, I am so sorry for your loss. Bob and I had a lot of great times in Douglas. Though I've lost contact over the years with Bob we started communicating again in January of this year. He'll always be in my memory and prayers.

Bob's neighbor. We enjoyed talking about the LORD to him. He did get a Bible and would ask questions. His heart was good and God has a place for him.

I never met Bob, but if he is anything like his brother Dave, then he certainly had a heart of gold. My condolences
