Prayer for eternal peace.
Our Sympathy, Bob will be remembered always. May he rest in peace.
I knew Bob through his daughter Rita, our kids played hockey together and he and Sandy would come to the games. We always had a good visit, I too grew up on a family farm so we could relate to many things. Bob was fun to visit with. Sending much love and prayers to the whole family. “Through faith in our loving savior, we have the hope of eternal life. and now Bob and Sandy are together in their eternal life.
I knew Bob; and Sandy, my whole life. Friendly and caring are definitely two words that truly describe him. He was a very good man and his legacy lives on with his extended Family. God bless his; and Sandy’s memory!
