Josephine, On behalf of my parents, Bill and Barb and my brother Griff and his family I send you our deepest sympathy and know that you are in all of our prayers and thoughts in the next days and weeks to follow. Griff and I especially hold a great many memories of coming to visit you and Arf when we were young and what happy times we had. He was always so fun to be around and always had good times with us. Daddy will surely miss him too after all he was a mentor to him for so many years. He too is getting up in years and realizing that time is short. I hope to see you soon and know that our love and prayers are with you until then. Love, the Davenports

Our Warwicke Place gatherings certainly will not be the same without Arf. I will miss Bob's warm embrases and kindheartedness. Bob and I shared a birthday, and I plan to make a toast to him every March 8th. Our heart felt sympathies go out to Jo and her entire family.

Mrs. Arfmann and Marty, one’s first impression of Bob was the epitome of dapper; but, for those of us who had the good fortune to know and work with him, we soon learned that, above all else, he was the quintessential gentleman. Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your husband, dad and our friend.

No words can express what Mr. A meant to us. He was one of our "group", always ready to lend an ear or give advice. He will be greatly missed and always remembered. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Mrs. A, Marty, Doug, Diane, Ashley, and Brian. We love you!!! David and Sherry Porter
