Darla, I only met you a few times at the Urbandale Care Center when Bob was a resident there, he sat across from my husband's table and we talked. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, maybe some day our paths will cross again, but please know that I'm thinking of you and your family! Blessings to all of you...

When Bob took over the management of our account, he quickly became a friend as well as a financial advisor. We always enjoyed his visits and the work he did for us. Our sympathies and best wishes to your whole family.

Penny, so sorry to hear of the death of your "little" brother, Bobby. It jogs my memory of meeting you, at your house, to walk to All Saints. Bobby was not yet in school. I remember him well - a cute, little, active fellow with round cheeks and freckles. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Your grade school friend, Mary Jo.

So sorry to hear about Bob's passing. What a wonderful man he was. He was so helpful to me and my husband. He was just an all around "good guy" to many people and organizations. My thoughts are with you at this time.

I only met Bob a few times, but he was an easy person to remember. Always kind and took the time to talk.
If I only knew a tenth of what he knew. He was a fellow Vet of Vietnam and we talked briefly about the era.
I will always remember him.
He and his family will be in our prayers.
God bless and be in piece!
