RIP Bob! We were good friends in grade school and worked together at Thede's Greenhouse in high school. You were a darned fast runner and a good athlete. Wishing the best to your family members.

We all slow down as we age so Bob's family may not know he could run like the wind when he was younger. On the grade school playground in Reinbeck he was known as "Robert the Rabbit" because no one could catch him. RIP Bob!

We have just learned of Bob's passing. Our prayers go out to you, Jan, and your families. We liked Bob a lot and enjoyed visiting with him whenever we made the trip to Iowa from San Diego. He was a good man and a great son to his mother, Jean.
