Even though you can't read this message Dad, I am grateful to God that He gave me a father like you. You have raised me up to love God first, others second and myself last. You have been a faithful servant and now have entered into your heavenly rest. Bye for now, your daughter, Kathy.

My deepest heartfelt sympathies to the family of Bob. Although it has been a long time since I last saw Bob, my memories of him are always smiling, upbeat, loving and kindhearted. I know those that knew and loved him will miss him so very much. I pray you will find comfort in the thought of knowing Bob is in the loving arms of Jesus and that you will see him again. I also pray that the memories of him and the love he gave you while he was here will help ease the sadness and loss. 
 You will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

I remember the good times we had at Herman Miller. On one stormy rainy morning about 4:30am; Bob was riding with me to work. When we were close to Baldwin and Cottonwood, My car hit a big puddle in the road. I was not aware that my floorboards were quite rusty, and a big guyser of water came up on my side and soaked me totally. Bob was laughing so hard, and he was completely dry. I had difficulty seeing where i was going with that dirty muddy water in my eyes. I do believe he had tears though from laughing so hard. He was very nice to work with and I appreciate the good times we had!
