My condolences to Jan and the family. Bob was so kind, helpful, and friendly. I served with him in the Grandview Ward and enjoyed working with him. His warmth and humor was always there to help lift others. May peace be in your hearts and minds as you reminisce the life you shared with him.
My association with Bob and Jan was working on the same shift at the Mesa, Arizona LDS Temple. Bob was always so kind to me and attentive to Jan. He will be sorely missed. Love and prayers for Jan and the family as they move forward without their sweetheart and father.
We will forever treasure Bob and Jan for the time we had to share with them in Illinois. Bob was the best, We had the privilege of having him as our Scout master. Every young man that he led was better because of the time he spent to teach them. Jan we wish you the best please know you are in our prayers.
