We are so saddened for the family. I work with Lil in Maine and have grown to love her so much. She has often spoken so highly of her brother and family. May the Lord continue to give you strength and comfort as you walk through this valley. May you find peace in knowing that He is your strength. God Bless and our prayers are with you.

To see Bob, one would think he was an intimidating force to be reconed with.To meet Bob you would like him instantly. To know Bob was to know one of the friendlist, Heart warming, kindest persons you will ever meet. Always, Always being positive and understanding and always making you feel better than you did when you first starting speaking with him, he had a calming effect and way about him that made you glad to know him. When you visited him, he always welcomed you and opened his home to you, when he visited you he was always happy to see you, no matter how he was feeling.He is a great man and He will be missed but never ever forgotten, because what he has left is a model for all of us to follow. Brenda and Dan I am so sorry for your loss.
