Juanita, so sorry to learn of Bob's passing. My sincere condolences, Larry advised me that Bob had stopped by his house and informed him of his medical problems just recently. Bob was always very friendly and attentive to Larry and myself during the years following graduation from Leesburg-Magnetic. Remember the good times.

We’ve known Bob for years through Juanita. Attending many concerts together and fish fries at the conservation club, using his pick up to bring sets for our theater group, Bob was always a willing helper and fun to be around. He was a super kind person and always smiling despite his physical challenges. We will sincerely miss him.

Aunt Juanita,
I was sad to hear about Uncle Bob's passing. Losing such a beloved member of our family, especially on Christmas Day, adds a poignant weight to the holiday season. Uncle Bob lived a remarkable 84 years (giving me hope that I might live a long life) leaving behind memories that I will cherish.
Your enduring marriage for 64 years of marriage (hoping to match, impressive) is a testament to the strength of your love shared. Especially your devotion to caring for him during his later years speaks volumes about commitment and strength you had to each other.
Please know my thoughts are with you during this time. May you find comfort in the memories of Uncle Bob’s kindness, wisdom, tractors, and humor, and in the support of those who care for you.
With deepest sympathy,
Your Favorite Nephew
