Roger, Sandy and Michael – we are so sorry for Bob’s passing, but we know he is in a better place. May God comfort you during this time.
With a heavy heart, I think about the many happy memories spent with Uncle Bob (and Aunt Ruth). The home was always a wonderful place full of animals, hugs, great conversations, and kindness. Very glad we (Myself, husband, and our two boys) were able to spend some time with Bob shortly after his diagnosis to catch up and share the memories with the next generation. Our thoughts are with you all at this time.
Bob was a classmate of mine all through our high school years at Kasson High School. We graduated in 1957. He was more than just a good guy. All who knew him will miss him for his straight forward and honest demeanor.
