Cathy, Scott & Jenny. We are sorry for your loss. Seems he had a long and active life. I did not know (Or maybe forgot) about the Charisma delivery work. And 63 years of marriage is amazing. How wonderful. And what a nice big family. I'm sure Jean will need everyone's support. Thinking of you in this difficult time. Fish & Nettie

Jean.
So sorry for the loss of your lifetime partner, I so enjoyed visiting with you and Bob recently. I only regret I did not keep in closer contact through the years. Bob was one of my early teachers in the Glazing trade and as we traveled together on projects throught out Iowa and the biggie Bob and I did in Dekalb Illnois, he taught this young whipper snaper a lot about just plan living. I am proud to have been one of his students. HE WILL SURELY BE MISSED BY THOSE WHO LOVED HIM AND THOES HE LOVED
Dona and I have sent a memorial in Bob's memory to Hospice of Central Iowa

I am so very sorry for your loss. I worked with Bob at Younkers and he made my day by smiling at me and wishing me a good morning, what a great way to start the day. Your family will be in my prayers. God Bless you all.
