  1. So very sorry to hear of your loss… our families grew up together and I always enjoyed talking to Bob to catch up when he was working at the hardware… our sympathies, Dawn ( Marshall) and Kevin Hass

  2. Dear Wilma & Family – my prayers go out to you for God’s comfort at this time. I just heard of Bob’s passing and so I stepped back in time to remember all the help he gave me as County Commander. He had a sense of humor and bright smile. He will be missed for all he did for the Legion and veterans. Love, Mony

  3. I remember living across the street from Bob and Wilma . I never really knew the man until then. I learned much about mechanics and many of life’s lessons from him. He always helped around the neighborhood and taught me the same ways. He will be missed in my heart but I know he is in better place due to in recent years him being sick. I will remember every memory I shared with him. Rest In Peace my wonderful friend.

  4. Knowing Bob for the past thirty years or so was an honor. I enjoyed his sense of humor, learning about and from his experiences, and admired his unfailing patriotism. We discussed many serious matters but enjoyed lots of laughter, too. Bob cared about his friends and community – especially the military veterans community. Those of us fortunate enough to have known him will always remember him for the great American he was. God bless you, Bob!

  5. Sorry for the loss to your family. We spent many years together with our families. I will remember for ever. Thank you Bless you
