Cindy, Kelley and Dylan,
I am thinking about all of you and praying that peace will be with you. I am praying for Bob and I know that he is in a place of peace. I know that Bob would want you all to take care of each other.

Even though it was a short period of time, we were privileged to know Bob. We will never have another St. Patrick’s Day celebration without remembering Bob’s wonderful Irish bread. He truly did touch the lives of anyone and everyone who met him.
Our deepest condolences to the family during this very difficult time of closure and remembrance.

The hardest part of describing my relationship with Bob is limiting it to a few words. Together we skied, fished, vacationed, played cards, watched sports, worked, advised each other, etc., etc., etc.. Bob was a man of character, honor, and a huge giving heart. We will miss you greatly.
