Condolences to the Family

Bob was a true solder. His pain and suffering is now over. He was a good man

I am so deeply sorry to hear of your loss. I am a nurse at Davita and loves every minute I spent with your loved one. He was one of my favorites. I know we are not supposed to have favorites, but I did. Please know that "Jonesy" put a smile on my face every time I saw him. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Bob, my brother.  I didn’t have contact with him over the years, but he has always been in my heart.  I have some wonderful memories of Bob, Flossie, and the kids when we all use to go out to (the house)  Mom and Dads house.  We would just sit either in the kitchen or out in the front yard and talk about anything.  Bob is my blood and has always been in my thoughts, and heart, and now he is in my prayers.  I love you Bob.

I am so sorry about your loss.  He will be missed by all his friends, It will be hard to come outside and not see him on the front porch.  His caring and loving wife would bring him his hot coffee. He always said he did not know what he would do with her. He loved his Mike and was very proud of him and he loved him very much, he loved all his children.

Florence and Michael,
We were so sorry to hear that Bob passed away.  Ellen was kind enough to send us the obituary.
We certainly miss seeing all of you at Craft Haven as we know that Ellen, you, Michael and Bob enjoyed your time there during the summer.
We know your family will miss Bob very much but hope the good memories will help you through this difficult time.
Barrie Boas and Donna
