We want to offer our sympathy on the loss of your Dad. We remember how well he kept the yard and his mowing with his John Deere mower. He was always friendly when I would come to visit with Neva. They always had a story to tell about the dogs. May you be comforted in your loss. Sincerely, Janet and Bob Espenschied (neighbors)
Ginger and family: So sorry to hear of your dad's passing. Always enjoyed joking around with him when he came into Buehlers to shop.He was a very nice man. You are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless.
A lot of memories with Uncle Bob. I think my most favorite memory is going to the Skate Place every weekend with him. He was quite the skater! He was such a sweet man. I will miss him! Love, Tresa Robbins (Niece)
We will miss you Dad. Rest in peace.
This man was one of the best men I ever knew!! Never judged me for bad decisions that I made. Always encouraged me when things were tough. And went way out of his way to smile and joke with me, making the day better. He will be truly missed
