Mrs. Woland, you have our deepest sympathy for the passing of Bob. He will be in our prayers. We knew Bob when we were in the Paxton Athletic Assn together, a long time ago. He was a great guy.

To Elizabeth and Jane,
I am so sorry to learn of Bob’s passing. My family lived next door to the Woland family in the 1960’s. My childhood memories of Bob include the family beagle Mickey, Yankees games on the radio, and wiffle ball games in the narrow alley behind the house. May your happy memories comfort you now.

I appreciate your expressions of support during this very difficult time.
Elizabeth Woland
