Sweet Bob will be missed by many. Bob gave the best hugs to everyone walking out the door after Sunday service— and of course all the kids knew he would have them a piece of chewing gum. Bob to make sure everyone left knowing they were loved. The last thing Bob told me was “I’ll pray for you, and you pray for me” in regards to an upcoming drs appointment we had last week. He loved life and loved people.
Bob was a wonderful and godly man .He will truly be missed by many. I feel very fortunate to have known Bob.
