I did not hear of Bob's passing until after the funeral. Bob was one of a kind.. He will be sorely missed, but he is now able to rest. His battle was long and hard and his goodness has earned him his place in heaven. May the Grace of God comfort you and your family Carol. Bob will be long remembered by all who knew him. Take care and God Bless

My thoughts are with you and the family and how death robs us of our loved ones. Jehovah God has promised to remove death, sickness, and pain from the earth and reunite us with our loved one on a cleansed earth in the future. (Revelation 21:4; John 5:28,29; John 17:3; Psalms 83:18)
In the meantime you can be sure that God understands how you feel now! The Bible assures us:
"He is healing the brokenhearted ones,
And is binding up there painful spots." Psalms 147:3

We loved Bob, especially his dry sense of humor! It was always a treat to see him in his blue "puffy" coat and have a fun conversation--he will be missed! Our thoughts, prayers and wishes for peace go out to Carol and his family.

I am so sorry to hear of Bob's passing away. I had the pleasure of working with him at Mercury. He was a great guy and I know he is now resting in peace.

Bob's passing was sad to hear - but we are happy that the pain he was suffering at the end is over. I was blessed to have worked with Bob all those years at Mercury and will always be thankful for his patience and guidance. A good man with a good heart, I will miss him!
