Sharon, Stan, and family, my heartfelt sympathy.
Remember Me
It is true I am not here in the physical sense anymore, but you have traces of me left in many familiar places:
You'll hear expressions that remind you of our conversations; You'll see beautiful things that remind you of our adventures together; Something will make you cry, and you'll remember a time when we shared tears and comforted each other and felt better. You'll laugh at something, and it will remind you of a time when we laughed together at a movie, or a card, or just a funny situation.
So, my friend, there will be times when it hurts to remember.
It's o.k. to cry, and you may not feel strong sometimes, but I know you have an inner strength. Rely on it and try to move ahead.
Know that you hold a special place in my heart, and that your presence added to my life.
Use these memories to help you when things get you down and you need an extra smile.
When you do or see the things we enjoyed together, know that I am still there in your heart and in your memory.
Remember the happiness we shared.
Until that day when we meet again, live your life to the fullest as I did, and share yourself with others.
So, my treasured friend, until we meet again remember me.

To the Spratt family: Bob and I were classmates at LaSalle, and I remember him well. Having lost track of him following graduation in '62, I was amazed to find that his later life was so full of service to his community. Here's a person who made a difference, and that contribution is in keeping with the Bob Spratt I remember. My prayers to the members of Bob's family. Chuck Waters '62

To the Spratt Family,
I had the pleasure of working with your Dad. He was a kind and caring individual. Someone once said, "when Bob Spratt walks into a room, he commands the room". Bob will be missed. I hope you all can find comfort in knowing he is at peace with your mom.

Bob was a wonderful, compassionate person who touched everyone that met him. He will be missed, but just think how happy he is to be reunited with your mom and the rest of the family.
Bob was my godfather and very close to my dad and mom. He was present when both my parents died. Bob would give the most eloquent speeches. I loved hearing all his stories. You will be missed. RIP

Rob, Shawn, Chris, and Todd:
We are sorry for your loss. Your Dad was a lot of fun to be around. I will always remember all of the rounds of golf we played as a group.
As you deal with his passing remember everything he was to all of you from childhood to adulthood. Remember him as a grandfather as well as a father.
Know he is in a better place and reunited with your Mom and other family members.
Loss takes time to process and there is not a timeframe for grief. Acknowledge your feelings as they are normal.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
