Condolences to the Family

It was an honor and pleasure to work with Uncle Bob for the 17 years I worked at Andrews and the years after his retirement (?) Being as I was hired as a truck driver I had very little experience with excavating. When I had to labor on one of Bob”s jobs he would taked time to show me how to do a certain job. Bob was very loyal to his job. He did not need anyone to tell him how to run a job even though some thought they knew more than he. The LORD had a place for Bob on this earth and he did WELL at all the LORD had for him to do. He is now walking with Jesus and we that know Jesus as SAVIOUR and LORD also have that HOPE that Bob is now enjoying. Our prayers are with the Weaver family. GOD BLESS and strengthen each one .
