Sharon and family: Sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I have a lot of fond memories working with him at First Federal. We had a lot of good talks about God and church. We will all see him again in Heaven. God Bless you through this difficult time.

Oh, Sharon what a beautiful story of hope the Lord has given, through your lives. It's not the end. I think of him and smile for my heart knows he is dancing the streets of heaven now. He said while in the hospital that he planned to walk again in this life, but if he didn't he knew some day he would walk again with the Lord. I won't ever forget your family, and am praying for you often. I won't forget your story, I won't forget Bob's smile and if ever a weary patient comes and needs word of hope I will remember his smile and tell them of a man who's hope came from the Lord. God bless you and keep you all, all of your days.

Sorry to hear that Bob has passed from this earth. Happy knowing he is with Christ now. Grew up in church with Bob and played a lot of baseball with him. He was a good pitcher. Our thoughts and prayers for the family.

There are too many things, memories, words within my heart that I can't select even a select golden few to describe what having you in my life has meant to me. Thank you for always believing in me but then you already were my favorites.

Sharon, Daryl and Brad...so sorry to hear Bob has passed. He was such a kind man, and was so instrumental in my deciding to attend Calvary nearly thirty years ago. He made sure to look for, and reach out to us in the beginning months of attending there and here we still are! Glad his physical struggles are over. May the Lord comfort you all with many fond memories in the days to come.

I have so many memories of us growing up together over the years. To remember just one is hard. So I'll just keep them in my heart as precious memories. Love

We will miss you Bob, but we know that you are walking those streets of gold right now, dancing even. Blessings to your wonderful faithful wife Sharon also.
