Our sympathy is extended to Brenda and the family. Bob was a true friend and will be missed by many friends and family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Brenda as will as the entire family. It has been an honor knowing Bob the last few years-the world is a much better place with such a fine faithful man. We are grateful for Bob’s military service. Blessings for strength and courage during this difficult time.
In the late 1960’s Gary and I worshipped with Bob & Brenda at the 67th & Woodson Church of Christ in Overland Park, Kansas and then some 50+ years later we again have been blessed to worship with them at the 107 Woodson Road Church of Christ in Raymore, MO. Such a faithful Christian couple and we will miss Bob. We are praying for Brenda and family.
What a blessing Bob was to all who knew him. A wonderful example of a Christian man. May God give you, Brenda and family peace. Hugs and prayers!
Praying for the sweet family. Bob will certainly be missed.
Our love and sympathy are extended to Brenda and the family. Bob and Brenda have been our dear friends for many years and they have been wonderful Christian examples. We will miss Bob as will so many others.
Uncle Bob was a wonderful man. Always calm and quite. He loved his family and his God. He loved walking and being outdoors. A wonderful example.
