    May peace be in the hearts of Bob’s family. I’m certain his mother is so proud of him. I’m blessed to know the children he raised & his lovely wife, Kay. They will always remain in the center of my heart, but especially during this time of sorrow.

    Dear family,
    I am so sorry for your loss. I will miss seeing Bob walking by my house, or stopping to pick up pecans or tree limbs in my yard.
    He was such a friendly and helpful guy.
    May God bless you,

    Sorry to lose ur dad. He was a wonderful man and so knowledgeable when it came to mechanics. I’m sure he’s missed at the coffee table. I’m sure Heaven has a special table for all those who have passed.
