Mr.Bob has been a cherished friend for many years. I feel so lucky God blessed me with such a good man for a neighbor! He always had a kind word, wisdom beyond years, and loved people. He grew the best tomatoes I’ve ever had. I miss him so much but I know he is with his wife that he missed so much! God bless you Mr Bob and your lovely family!

So sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. He was a dear friend even though for a short time of a few years. We shared many stories of our deceased relatives about Alzheimer’s and our faith in God . He was a wonderful man with a good Christian loving and giving heart. I will miss him for sure . Dale and I send our love and condolences to his other family and friends.
