Bev, Kim and Shaun, We are so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. We remember fondly the good times we bowled together in the Sunday night couples league. Bob’s live was a true example of Servanthood to his fellow man. Well done good and faithful servant. We feel fortunate that our lives intersected. Blessings, Arnie & Francine Rask

Once again, so very sorry for your loss. I worked with Bob, for 34 of those years. We had lots of fun at work. Getting together with the family and our WHO campouts, always was fun and created memories. I always loved getting fresh honey form him. Glad to see Bev, you kept up with the Christmas decorations. Sorry once again. Will be there emotionally Friday. I just had my knee replaced on Tuesday..

My condolences to your family. I remember all the fun times I had with Bobby at Buffalo Lake in Montello. Very fond memories of games all the kids played together and the many times a short swim in the lake lasted all day until sun down.

We are very sorry for your difficult loss. One of our first memories of Bob was him welcoming us to St. Ignatius and seeing him as Santa at the Church. He was a great one! You have our heartfelt sympathy. Hugs to you all. Vicky and John Rosenbaum
