Interment with Military Honors will follow at Lincoln Memorial Cemetery. Bob requested that only three flowers be in the sanctuary for his service, a black rose signifying that he was conceived in sin, lived in sin, and died in sin, a red rose signifying the shed blood of Christ that covers that sin, and a white rose signifying that because of Christ’s shed blood, he now appears before God washed clean and free from sin. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, memorials be directed to Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Lincoln.
