I worked with Bob for almost 14 years and if I ever saw a faithful man it was him. Faithful to God, faithful to his wife and family, faithful to his business and customers. A man of integrity. He has gotten tears in his eyes more than once while we talked about the things of God and I will always treasure those memories. He’s HOME! He’s reached the goal we all want to reach. It’s the rest of us who have to go on without the influence, support, and strength he gave us. He left BIG shoes to have to fill. My love and prayers to you all.
I am so sorry for your loss. Although it was brief, when I worked with him recently at Skilfab he showed that he was a true gentleman. My thoughts are with your entire family.
We were saddened to hear of Bob’s passing. We will miss him greatly
My dearest Betty and family…I was so shocked by the news of Bob’s passing. I wanted to run and hug you all. Bob was an amazing man in so many ways. He was always ready to help , ready to be a living testiimony to his faith, ready to work hard and get the job done right, ready to love and laugh with his family and finally ready to go home to his God. We will miss him and his wonderful smile and generous ways. I personally want to let Betty know that I have been out of town since the day she called me to tell me of his passing. I would love to talk to you. Please call me when you are ready and let me know if I can do anything to help. I was gone until Friday of this week.
I love you, Betty…you are very dear to me and always will be.
Love,
Linda and Bill Stanley
