hideLeave a Condolence
We are sorry to be out if state and unable to attend Bob's funeral. He and Dorrie were important to our church and to us. We will miss his smile, friendly talk and quick wit. Please accept our sympathy.
That executive branch of Shenango is getting smaller. May Bob Rest In Peace. God be with you.
To the family of Bob Truscott, Bob was not only a wonderful neighbor , he was such a kind gentleman. He and Dory were always so sweet and kind to our grandchildren when they would stop by. Such a cute couple??He sure loved Dory and his entire family. He holds a very special place in our hearts. He will be missed !!!! He and Dory were very proud of their children and grandchildren. He was just so lovable! Love, Bob and Wynne your next door neighbors
Your family will always be in my childhood best of memories. As next door neighbors, it was like having a second home with Bob & Dory as our second set of parents; always wondering if we all had our chores done so we could go out to play. Sleepovers with movies and pizza was the best. And we even had a great vacation with your family one summer to Pennsylvania. All my very best to your family and I pray for God’s love and peace for all of your families.
I will always remember the sleepovers and your Dad yelling at me and Robbie for getting into stuff we were not supposed to be into. We TOTALLY deserved it every time!!! Good times and great memories for sure. He will be missed.
Candace, We are so sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad. We know you were very close. Bernice and Guy

My deepest sympathy Candace and Robbie. I loved your parents. Such wonderful people. I remember the good times growing up in Indian Meadows. I remember your dad out in the yard. He kept an immaculate yard. Such a sweet man. RIP Bob. Love and prayers, Melanie (Kendle) Patrick
I am so sorry to hear of your father's passing Candice and Robbie. I have such fond childhood memories of summer days year after year running from our house to yours back to ours back to yours.... Playing with toys, yard games, riding our banana seat bikes, and hanging out. Your father was always there in the background working in his garden, trending the trees, and keeping an eye on us. We were all so fortunate to have had our parents and our homes so close together, so full of fun activities, so safe, and so comfortable. Bob will be missed - the last of our four parents... How can that even be? The blink of an eye. Love, peace, and comfort to you both and to your families. Suzanne (Blickensderfer) Rutan
