Bob was such a kind and gentle soul. I always looked forward to seeing him at the Memorial Day service. My father, Joe Lewis, had much respect for Bob, loved talking with him and always treated him with love and kindness. Bob always impressed me with his ability to remember all of our names and birthdates. I wish I would have heard about his passing earlier so I could have attended his life celebration. My father will welcome him into heaven and they will pick up their friendship where it left off. The world would be a much better place if we had more people like Bob in it. Heaven has gained another angel. Rest In Peace, Bob.
So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4 “With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them.
And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away".

Dee graduated with Bob. We must have taken him a ton of aluminum cans. We will surely miss him. Didn't get the notification until today, Would have been at his homegoing if I had! Yup!
Bob you will be missed.. always enjoyed sitting and talking to you. Now you and Dad can catch up.
I was so sorry to hear about the loss of Bob. Such a nice man & will be missed. My prayers to you all.
Bob was such a sweet and kind man,,Loved having him for a neighbor, Lance and I will both miss him
I'm going to miss seeing Bob, it won't be the same not seeing him around. I've known him all my life and am sure I could have finally won 1 game of checkers against him... or at least not gotten stomped. :) He was always wonderful to me and had a big smile.
Bob was such a sweet and gentle person. His acts of kindness and generosities will be remembered. Bill and Ms. Peg should be so proud of Bob. He will be missed.
