I considered Bob one of my best friend. We spent times together that I will treasure always. He was a testimony to His Lord Jesus, whom He love so very much, not only in words but by the way He lived His life. I will miss Him very much. May God bless you Joyce as you have lost a precious husband and one who loved you very much. I know that we all that knew Him here will one day meet Him again in Glory, or as we sometime say, In the sweet by and by.
Love to you Joyce and to all the family
Your brother in Christ

I am so sad to hear that Bob has passed. My Mom, Anne Cooley, thought so highly of Bob. He visited her faithfully and lovingly during her illness and was so sweet to my sister and I when she passed. My thoughts go out to his lovely wife and family.
Sincere consolations from Germany,
