Peggy and family,
You are in our thoughts and our prayers. Sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. God will give you the strength to go on. To the girls, we are cousins to Char and Ray Sharpe. We knew your Dad from Totem Yacht Club. Many a good times in the last 20 years that we have known him and your mom. God Bless you all.
Peggy and family, you are in our prayers and thoughts during this time of sorrow for you. Bob was such a family man, and we remember how proud he was at Krista’s wedding–he just glowed with fatherly love. A fun memory of Bob is when you visited us at Woodhaven in Palm Desert. While sitting out on our patio a woman hit the golf ball and yelled “run honey” to her ball. We had quite a laugh and every time after that if someone hit a poor shot, Bob would laugh and say “that’s another run honey”! He is missed by his friends.
Our prayers are with your family at this time of sorrow. We will miss the good times we all had with Bob and the family. Our relationship is special to us with your family. We know that Bob is in a special place in heaven with the other angels, and is enjoying watching us from on high.
Peggy and family,
Our memories of Bob are very intertwined with all of you because Bob was very much a family man. Our family’s fondest memories would be the San Juan vacations aboard your boat. Catching, cleaning and eating crab while enjoying our friendship in the beauty of the Northwest. Bob has left a significant mark on our spirits.
The time in my memory Nancy was with our church friends at Sequim gathered around the table outside and praying together for Bob’s health. That was 1997. Also the fun times dancing at the yacht club dances are part of my fond memories. Bob and Peggy were good dancers, what fun we had!
With love,
