"I just learned of Bobby’s passing, and was saddened to hear about it. I used to be his neighbor during high school, but haven’t seen Bob or Tom since then. I send prayers to all the family, and wish you all strength during this sad time. Peace be yours now and always...."

"YES, The coffee shop was the hang out & many a good time was had by all there, from finding a job, planning a hunting or fishing trip, finding your mate or just swapping stories. Bob will truly be missed! Dave & I will be out of town when you have the service, please except our condolences. Dave & Sharon Mentzer ( How’s our 3 legged turtle?)"
