Our family’s thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time.  We have special memories of yesteryears’ church and community gatherings.  Of those times, many were those filled with singing with beautiful harmony present due to this couple’s voices.  I used to love being in close proximity.  🙂  A quick sense of humor was another soecial memory.  Nowadays, we are blessed by the company of grown children, especially one son.  May the Lord comfort your hearts,  Darlene for the Alice Jean Warriner family

I will always remember him singing! He loved when my noisy kids was around him at Millersville Mennonite Church! Sometimes I apologized on behalf of my two years old  daughter for the noise and his answer was that, her noise was the best song!
We will miss you

I am so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. He was a long time customer when I worked at the bank in Whitesville.
I also bought lots of Watkin’s products from him. I know he is with God in the best place there is to be. My thoughts and prayers for all. Diane Bledsoe
