"Laurie, sorry to hear about your dad?s passing. May you find comfort in knowing he is with the Lord now. "
"My condolences to Bob?s family. I enjoyed working with him and our times fishing. Bob was quite a fisherman and caught a lot of fish. It?s funny he never acquired a taste for fish. Bob had a good sense of humor and enjoyed kidding around. "
"We were saddened to hear that Bob had passed away. Jim always enjoyed working with Bob at Farmland and chatting with him. He was a great guy. We were glad we got to see you one time when you were back to Denison and told us you had moved to Florida. We send you all our deepest sympathy, hugs and prayers to you and your whole family. Jim (Jurgy) & Nancy Jurgens"
