I didn't get to meet Don in this life. Soon, I suppose, we will greet each other in Paradise. I'm a navy vet and treasure my time with Jesus. God's blessing is upon you.

For several years after our morning coffee, Bob and I would get together and speak of our lord Jesus Christ, his salvation for us and the Kingdom of heaven. They were special times.
On our motorcycle trips I would always map out for Bob where the closest Russell Stover chocolate outlets were thus, he earned the name "Chocolate Bob"! My thoughts and prayers are with Martha, Donnie and family as God brings them comfort and peace with warm memories of Bob. With Love Steve and Adele

Martha and family. Our hearts are broken for you. We loved Bobby, he was truly one of the finest men we've ever known. I first got to know Bobby at the old Western Auto store in Clinton Illinois in the early 1970's. Many years later, we rode motorcycles together, riding to different tracks throughout the Midwest for the motorcycle races. Donny I know remembers this well. I even had the pleasure of having a professional relationship with him. I
always looked forward to seeing him.
Bobby was a kind loving man, full of wisdom. He always had a kind word and a smile on his face. He was a true man of our Lord. Bobby always spoke of his family with a twinkle in his eye, he loved you so much.
We have lost a great friend and will miss him. I thank God we had the opportunity to know this wonderful man.
We love you all. Greg and Patty
