    Dear Lisa and Family,

    Mike and I had the privilege of being Bob and Sylvia’s neighbors for over a decade. We loved them both and will cherish the memories we have with them. We are deeply sorry for the loss of your dad. Bob was a wonderful, caring man with a great sense of humor. I am sad we will not see him again, but I am happy he is with the love of his life, his dear, sweet Sylvia. May he rest in peace.

    May God be with you and your family during your time of grief.

    God Bless,
    Mike and Kim Sponseller (former Katlyn Drive neighbors of your parents)

    Dear Lisa,
    I met your dad several years ago while walking my dog at Walsh Park. He was walking Shadow and we became friends while exchanging treats for our dogs, (he always had some in his pocket. Our conversations were short but over the years became good friends: usually meeting at 8:00 a.m. I always knew if the red truck was there I was in for some “ribbing” or jokes about my being late. He always had an easy smile and friendly laugh. Like “ships that pass in the night” I never saw him without his ball cap (usually OSU or Indians) and I honestly didn’t know his last name.
    I had a very good friend (Lisa Celek) who walked at the park faithfully every day and she and I shared an update if for some reason one or the other of us had missed seeing him.
    I was in Hilton Head last week and knew she passed away suddenly the day I left. I was looking for h er obituary on my return today and lo and behold, Bob’s was right next to hers in the Fremont Messenger. I was so shocked but my first thought was “they will have good walking buddies”.
    I met you once briefly when you walked with him shortly before you were getting a new “golden’. Bob loved his trips to visit you and was very proud of his grandson.
    You have my sincere sympathy and prayers. Bob was the epitome of a “gentle man.
