So sorry to hear of your father's passing. We live at Van Loon Commons and recently had many conversations with Bob. He was always such a gentleman. May The Lord receive him with open arms and rejoice in him returning to the Father.
We pray that time will heal your broken hearts.
God Bless all of you,
Mike and Chris Jedrzejewski
