What a nice, gentle, man.  I am honored to have known him and proud to have been his friend.  He will always be remembered by his huge friendly smile and his more than firm handshake.  He is a true American Hero who lived an honorable caring life and set an example we should all follow.                              Posted by  Ken Newton - Punta Gorda, FL   May 13, 2013

Sorry to hear of Bob passing. Know he is now in Heaven with his beloved wife of many years. Am sure he will meet up with Ted there and they will have a long visit.                              Posted by  Phylis Armstrong - Lake Odessa, MI   May 13, 2013

I have such sweet memories of your Dad.  Elaine, you had a party when we were quite small.  Your Dad transported a really full car load of kids there.  Then, he helped us up on a horse (seems like his name was Ted), and gently led us around so we could say we had had a ride.  I think he also made a bonfire for us to roast hot dogs and marshmallows.  These are such fond memories!  May God comfort you all.                              Posted by  Judy Johnson - Lake Odessa, MI   May 14, 2013

Sorry to hear about your Dad. I have to work at the other funeral home during his funeral so I can't be there.                              Posted by  Debra Upright - Mulliken, MI   May 14, 2013

Dear Family,    My thoughts and prayers are with you. Uncle Bob was a special guy, and I have fond memories of our visits to their house. He always had such a contagious laugh.  May you treasure your family memories and allow those to carry you through the  "missing him" times and know that we are thinking of and praying for you all.
