Esther and Joe, I am so sorry to hear about Bob. He was always an essential part of my church life. What a wonderful man! He was truly good and is now rejoicing in Heaven. God Bless you all and may He give you peace in your hearts. With much love, Patsy (Crabtree) McLaughlin

Esther and Joe, I'm sorry to hear of Bob's passing. We still have one of the wooden trains he made. Mom bought it for our girls when they were little. I will always keep it; it is so well-made and it's a good memory of Bob. I am happy for the years we had at Wash. Ave. Baptist together.
