We little knew that day,
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death, we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you.
You did not go alone.
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide.
And although we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

So many memories of Uncle Bob. From taking us to church every Sunday, to getting one of his fantastic Barbie doll cakes for our birthdays. Making hollowed out sugar eggs with pictures inside, to tasting his dandelion wine. He was always so patient and quick with a smile. Rest in peace and say hi to Aunt June and cousin Greg. Niece, Jeri (Graack) Krugman

We remember Bob fondly, from when our son Ben was close friends with Bob's grandson Brandon Foulk. Bob was always involved in his grandchildren's lives, and we saw him often at soccer games and transporting the kids around. He was a kind man, and we offer our sincere sympathy to the family.

So many wonderful times at the Lauck house! Delicious suppers followed by a sleepover, those amazing hollowed out sugar eggs at Easter, hours of Barbies and Silly Sand! Bob was a huge part of all of it. He was the nicest, most creative person you’d ever meet. Thanks for the memories, Bob. RIP Hugs to Barb and her family. ❤️

No greater man then Bob. I remember taking my little granddaughter Natalie Sorenson to see him about what he could say to her in enhancing her love of art. She was I think around 5-6 He was very impressed with her young knowledge of art and shared a lot with her. He had a love for art and kids it was plain to see. Keith and I enjoyed his visits and our visits with him at his home. You all have my deepest sympathy for your loss. I’m sure you’ll miss him terribly
