Mrs.Hayward and family- My sincere condolences to you and your family on your loss. Although I hadn't seen Bob in quite some time, I remember him fondly. As a school board director, he was truly interested in what was best for all students and very supportive to me as an educator. As a parent he (as you) was concerned, interested as his children progressed through Elk Lake.

Please know you and your family are in my prayers.

Sincerely,
Chris Montross
