Karleen and David, I'm so sorry for your loss. It would appear he spent his life in the service of others, quite honorable. May he rest gentle in the arms of the one he served for eternity.

Dear family of Bob. My deepest sympathy for your loss of a good man. I have only known Bob as a member of Post #312 the past 3 years but was very easy to be included by him as a member. He will be missed by all.
