To Sam's Family and Friends,
Since the early days of my memories of Camp Ceasar, Sam and Wanda were a part of the wonderful crew that shared stories, and created memories. I'm saddened at Sam's passing, but heartened that he led a full and rich life, and will be missed by so many of us. Our heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to the rest of his family.
John Sterling, Gay Anne, Ian and Eric Bobbitt - California cousins.

Steve -- I am sorry to hear about your loss. As you know, my dad was very fond of Bob, as was I. I always looked forward, as a child, to his 'dropping' by the house, on occasion. I will be thinking about you and Betty. Take care.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Mr. Bobbitt. I have only known Mr Bobbitt since 1998, but enjoyed going over to his house with other neighbors and visiting with him. Mr Bobbitt was always a pleasure to be around and he always waved to me while I was passing his house. I always enjoyed trying to make him laugh.
Mr Bobbitt was a fine gentlemen and will surely be missed by the neighborhood and especially me.
