Sorry for your loss. Praying for all of you.
Judy & family, I am so very sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. He was always so nice to me whenever I saw him and always happy. Sympathy and prayers to you all at this time.
I only met Bob a few times and he was very friendly and welcoming. I am so sorry to hear of his passing and the rough months preceding his passing. May God hold you in the palm of his hand to comfort you and give you strength to get through these trying times. God bless you and I will continue to pray for you and your family as I have since Bob took his fall. XOXOXO
My condolences to the family. Although we didn’t hang out away from work, I considered Bob a good friend at the shop We worked along side each other for a number of years. He was always willing to help out, had a good sense of humor, just a good all around person.
Goodbye old friend
