Guestbook
Bob was a very pleasant and helpful person. Now he’s at peace with his Hevenly Father.
He was like a father to me for many years. I appreciate how fortunate I was that he was in my life. He was a good man and a faithful Christian. He was loved and he will be dearly missed.
Bob will be missed. We always enjoyed his company. We enjoyed his many stories regarding his travels in life. He was a good a Christian and is now resting in heaven. We will miss him. ❤️
Didn’t want to say in public, and hurt anyone else’s feelings… But Bob was my favorite…..Remember lots of good times spent with him
