Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
My wife and I knew Bob and Euleta for many years at Sterling. I worked with him at the pipeline company at Alden, and he was one of the kindest most caring persons I have ever known. He was a friend to everyone. He was one in a million. We can look forward to the time when we will join him in his heavenly home. God Bless all of his family in this hard time as Bob goes home to be with the Lord and the ones who have gone on before. No more tears of sadness, only tears of joy.
R.J., Ellen and Family, My condolences to you all. The Lord is aquainted with sorrows. May He comfort you with his presence and with precious memories. Mel Friesen Grace University
