I have just found out about Bob's passing. I did business with him and Joyce for years and am so sorry that he has passed. He was a good man and I always enjoyed talking to him and Joyce when I was at the feed store. God bless the family.

Thank you for your kind words about my father. He will be greatly missed. His life embodied the love of Jesus for every one he met. He never met any he considered a stranger, always laughing, and enjoying his life and loving the people God placed in his path and life. I know he’s with Jesus now, and we will one day see him again. Better is one day in God house than a thousand elsewhere
