Bob Frederick loved to go Walleye fishing with his buddies at the lake

He wanted to catch the biggest fish & stay at the lake, no matter how long it would take.

Branson was his favorite vacation spot.

He loved being on his boat with the sun beaming so hot.

Bob loved driving his pickup truck to the Elkhart post office, bank, and his land everyday.

He always had a kind word to say.

Bucky loved Kit Kat chocolate bars and many other kinds,

He asked his caretaker, Heather, for chocolate because it was always on his mind.

Bob was a very amazing man & lived a wonderful 76 years,

His family & friends are grieving many tears.

Bob was a good man to everyone he loved,

He is an angel in Heaven with The Man up above.

Bob & Jan had 55 years together,

Fluffy knows in her heart, that he is with her forever.

August 18, 2010 we put Robert Frederick to rest,

He is in God's hands now because he only takes the best.
