Dear Jean and family, I am sorry for your loss. We only knew you and Bob for a few years when we bowled together in a mixed league at Jordan Lanes. You both were very friendly and a very happy couple. Now remember all the good times with Bob. Sincerely, Richard Snyder

Lost touch with you over these many years but never have forgotten our very early years as close friends. Bob, we were fortunate enough to have you as our "Best Man" at our wedding, now some 70 plus years past. Just sorry that Audrey & I missed the opportunity to share some time with you in these later years. Rest well my friend, for without a doubt. Our Lord was waiting with open arms to greet you on your arrival into Heaven.
