Bob was a great and caring uncle to me and a wonderful friend to all. Though he loved life on earth, Bob believed he was going to a greater place upon his death where he would rest eternally with those he loved most dearly.
Please except our condolences. We have many fond memories of Bob from Yakima and Frenchman reunions.
Bob will be greatly missed.
Bob was one of those rare, really nice people, one whom everyone liked. Though we didn’t see him often, we will truly miss him.
