"Pat and Family We were so sorry to hear about Bob. We have known Bob and his family for so many years. We will always remember him for the care and help needed when we lost a memember of our family but he made us feel at the time as he was providing service to a friend, not just a client. We also remember him as a quiet soft spoken person, even his laugh which to us was more of a soft chuckle than a loud laugh. He always had a smile and big Hello how are both of you doing, which made us feel as if we were a good friend of his and yours Pat. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Ed and Jo Dietz"
"I extend my sympathy to all of Bob's family. It was a pleasure for several years to assist with services...even in the \old\" funeral home. His service to the community and that of his father was much appreciated. ""
"My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Bob was a special man to me. He helped me to be able to do one last thing for many of my clients, by doing their hair for their last meeting of relatives and friends. I was so nervous, but he was so comforting and helpful. Most recently he was that smiling, happy man on my mail route. He always had a wonderful attitude and a contagious smile!! The house at 607 Mulberry will never be the same. Hugs to you, Pat, and hold tight all those wonderful memories that you and your family share! God bless! Kerri Timmerman, Bennett "
