I first met Bob after his "retirement" while he was working part time at Walgreens. He always had a kind word for everyone he checked out. Then I learned he was Mardi's husband, and was able to spend many happy times with them at church. Mardi, you and your family are in my prayers, and I will be available to you for any assistance I am able to provide for you. Take comfort in knowing Bob is enjoying a new, perfect body and the joy of his new Home.

I met Bob when he and I were working together at KPD. Bob was the very best Communications Officer during my time there. Plus, as a group, we shared many fun and sad times together. Bob, rest in peace.
