Our prayers and love to all the family. So grateful for Bob’s life and his legacy to so many!
May the Lord comfort each of you.
Much love,
Bob & Patsy meant so much to me during my Navy time at Moffet Field. I attended their church in Menlo Park in 1966-67. They even let me sleep during a Sunday AM service after being on duty all night!
I know Bob’s with the Lord & I look forward to seeing him again one day. God bless to Patsy & family.

I remember Bob and Patsy as assistant Pastors at Alisal Assembly of God in Salinas. As a teen at that time I was troubled about whether I was saved or not and suffered great anguish similar to young Martin Luther. Bob was a great encouragement to me in continuing my faith in the Lord and several years later I received the assurance I desperately desired. Thank the Lord for his life of service in the Lord’s ministry.
