Knew Bob and Evie from many years back.  Bob was a pretty nice guy, I will miss him a lot even tho I have not seen him for 20 years or more.                              Posted by  Howard Brower     November 30, 2015

Remember Bob from when I was a kid but my more resent memories are from his visits to Allegan County Medical Care Community.  He came to visit folks from Wayland.  He always had a kind word and smile.  To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.                                Posted by  Shelley Jager-Ladd     November 29, 2015

Evelyn and Family, Please accept my sincerest sympathies for your loss.  It is quite a shock as we were just at the class reunion luncheon at the end of September with you.  I am sure that your family will be a comfort to you at this time.

"Humma, humma, humma", our dad, Grandpa and Great Grandpa "Goofenoff" is catchin' "haaags" in the best fishin' waters with a "big bass under every lily pad and a chocolate milkshake on top."  It was a full moon the night he left, perfect for "night fishin'" with Bob's favorite "ole Indian tricks"; black or white spinner bait on an Ugly Stick with a Cardinal 4 reel.   One thing to "always remember and never forget, it's a little jerk on one end and a big jerk on the the other", that way you won't get "cut off by a big northern!"  "Who'da thunk it?" We always pray before we eat that the Lord would "bless this food onto our bodies"; some of us are more blessed than the others, and "you'd better eat quick or you'll pull back a bloody stub." "Papa Gander" loved his "Mother Goose", Daryl, his other brother Daryl, Goob, Shou, and Pork Chop too. Did you know he was a dog guy?  He would always offer to "cut their tails off behind their ears". Uncle Bob worked 36.2 years at General Motors (wait was that a Binary number or maybe a hexadecimal?) He must've thought a lot of us had a drinking problem, because we were all told at one time or another that we were "full of pink pop". So, "from one ole toolmaker to another, use my head and give the Lord a chance in your life". "Good nightie, good nightie, pajama,pajama...Shadrack, Meshack, and to. bed.we.go, and "Don't do anything Evie wouldn't do."

BOB WAS A CHRISTIAN SERVANT AND DID HIS COMMITMENT TO THE  "GLORY OF GOD" ABOVE AND BEYOND MANY.  MAY GOD HOLD ALL OF HIS FAMILY IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND AT THIS TIME FOR PEACE AND STRENGTH.  HE WAS MY BAND BUDDY AND A LOYAL FRIEND TO MY TWIN BROTHER.  HE WILL BE REMEMBERED AND MISSED BY MANY WHOSE LIVES HE TOUCHED.  REST IN PEACE, BOB!!

We remember Bob (and Evie) with so many fond memories.  We met at Wycliffe USA Orlando, FL RV Park, where we, along with Bob & Evie, were volunteering.  Bob was such a wonderful prayer warrior!  His faithfulness in praying for a long prayer list was astounding!  We will remember him with great fondness, and will be praying for Evie and their family.

Fond memories of Bob and his faithfulness to prayer.  Hugs and prayers from Florida.  May God provide you with all the strength you need this week and in the hard months ahead.  Floyd & Jenny                               Posted by  Floyd & Jenny Forner - Naubinway, MI - friend   November 27, 2015

May God hold you close Evie and comfort you.  You faithfully loved and cared for Bob and we are thankful for the joy that you always shared.  God is so good to relieve Bob from the challenges he faced here on this earth.  So many people young and old have been blessed by the "clown." Now Bob can enjoy the treasures of heaven.  Love you, Bob and Jan Davis                              Posted by  Bob and Jan Davis - Martin, MI - friends   November 27, 2015
