I am so very sorry to learn of your dad’s passing! He was a wonderful friend & I will miss him so much.
What a kind & generous guy he was – sharing his talents (and there were many), time and so many other things. One fond & fun memory was when I called him about 10 PM one night. I told him I had a lizard was in my house. He laughed & said I must be seeing things. No, I wasn’t. It had been hiding in a tropical plant I had purchased. Bless his heart, he came at that hour & caught that stupid lizard! I was so grateful! But he was like that as you well know. Always helping others.
I pray that your fond & loving memories of him will in time replace the sadness in your hearts at this time. May God bless you with His Presence & comfort!

We’re very sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. We first met when Erin and Brianne were classmates. We became friends, but hadn’t seen him in many years.
We hope that you remember all the good times you had to help ease your grief.
