I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting Bob and Ann about 4 years ago. After reading Bob's obituary I never knew the magnitude of accomplishments he had achieved in his life. I knew the kind gentle soul he was. I loved to sit and talk with him and Ann. They are 2 very special people. His quick sense of humor drew me even closer into our conversations. It's the little things that stand out the most like how Ann would describe to him in detail the view of his surroundings when his eye sight was failing. Or how he told me how he and Ann met, his facial expressions made the story even more interesting.  I could go on and on. I think what would remain most prevalent in my memory is how much they truly loved each other. He was a great man, a true friend and a kind soul. Heaven gained a true gem. Good bye Bob we loved you.

We wish to extend our deepest sympathies at this difficult time.

We all love and miss you Bob.  You brought some of the very best of times to our family, and for that, we are eternally grateful.  May god's blessings be with you as you travel to his side.

Love, Dave, Nancy and Alex Bond

God will make you firm; he will make you strong. (1 Pet. 5:10)
