Carlton and Valerie, so sorry to hear about Bob. I know the Miller-Bean families all my life growing up across the street. Bobby was always there to help my parents removing snow and lending a hand when needed. They were there in good times and helped us in bad times. He will be missed and my prayers are with you both.

We were saddened to learn of Bobby's death. He had always been kind and helpful to our families in difficult times. I grew up with Carlton and the Armbrust/Miller-Bean family. They were a kind, loving and helpful family and a great influence on my life.
Our deepest sympathy to Carlton, Valerie and the rest of your family and friends.
