So sorry for your loss. My prayers to your family. Bob was such a fun and nice person. We were in the Lanciers Drum and Bugle Corps together, and what great times we all shared. Thinking about you in this difficult time.

My deepest condolences to your family. We worked with him when we are in the position of Regional director. He was very faithful and devoted for God's providence.
He also loved his family a lot.
We felt so sorry to hear about his fighting with illness.
We believe that he was liberated and be free in the realm of God's love.

My deepest condolences to your family. I had the pleasure to work with Bob during the time of the Baltic workshops in 1991. He was a most dedicated member of our faith family and a great brother. Bob will be sorely missed, however, we'll all meet again in the heavenly realm.

My deepest condolances to your family. I worked with Bob for 12 years and want to say he was a great friend and co-worker. Your memories won't be lost!
I'll pray for your family that had a dad that didn't hesitate to stir up a conversation, just not about my family but enjoyed talking about his. He loved you all very much!
