Bob was a super-great guy. He and his entire family are in my prayers. God bless. -Katie
Bob was a loving husband, father and grandfather who will be greatly missed. It will seem strange just saying Nancy and not “Nancy & Bob”. The two just seem to go together! 🙁 One day you’ll be together again Nance! We are so sorry we can’t be there for the funeral to help you through your grief but rest assured there will always be a place in our home and hearts for you! Love you! Gwen & Dan
