Julie and Golf Etc family,

    So sorry for your loss. I didn’t know that Bob was battling cancer. You helped us with the Elizabethtown Rotary Golf Major to benefit the jake Gittlen cancer Research Institute for the last 2 years and we will be forever grateful to you all. We have lost friends and family as well yet we vow to struggle on together to find cures for this horrible disease. God Bless.

Dear Julie and Family,
I would like to send my heartfelt condolences to you and your family. As you are aware, Bob and I have only known each other for a little more than one year, but we grew to be close through our love of golf and Golf Etc.  We were both dreamers and quickly talked of expanding our business venture to a third location west of Harrisburg (Mechanicsburg). I will truly miss Bob, but look forward to continuing to do business with Julie, Fred and Ryan in the future. Your friend and business associate in Harrisburg.

Dear Julie, Dan, Ryan, and Emma….
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.  Bob was a very special husband and father to you all.  To me he was a wonderful and loving brother. I will never forget his wonderful sense of humor and the love he had for his entire family. His laughter will forever be burned into my memory.  Few men have made me laugh the way he did.  He is gone way too soon, but never to be forgotten. He will always be loved by all who knew him.  May God give you all comfort during this difficult time.

Love,
Peggy B.
