Sue and family, I’m so sorry to hear about Bob’s passing. I’ve been lucky to know you both for the last 25+ years as he built houses in the valley. He made many friends over the years and he will be greatly missed. Prayers during this trying time.

I met Bob at Inland Mutual Insurance Company. I was fresh out of high school and Bob quickly became like a big brother to me. Always so very kind and wearing a smile. Knowing Bob is at peace, in comfort in God’s hands.

John and family, so sorry to read of the passing of your brother. I just lost my sister, Mary, in February so I know the void that you will feel.

I am so sorry to hear about Bob. We were good friends at Barboursville and reconnected several years ago at my mother's funeral. May he rest in peace and may his family be in comfort through this difficult time.
