To all of the family of Bob Gaines,
It was a real shock to me to learn of Bob’s passing. I feel so bad that I will not be able to attend his memorial. Please accept all my love, prayers and deepest sympathy and condolences to you and yours in these trying times. Bob was loved by many and will be missed by even more.
Dottie and family,
I would like to extend to you and yours my deepest sympathy. Was very surprised to hear of Bob’s passing. Much love, prayers and condolences to all of you in these trying times.
Bob was a co-worker of mine at South Seattle Auto Auction in the late 1990’s. I was proud to have him as a friend. He served the city of Auburn as our mayor from 1964-1969. I’m very sorry to find out that he passed in 2004. I will always remember him as a special man who had a caring and warm personality. When I drive by Gaines Park, it brings back nice memories of him.
