Rest Robert, until you hear at dawn, the low, clear reveille of God. Thank you for your service to this nation. U.S. Army.
Bob was such a pleasant guy. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him and see him in the office. He was always cheerful and kind in spite of what was going on with him. He will be missed. EJ Hett, MD
I am so sorry to get this news. Bob and I worked together for several years at Coleman. I always enjoyed his wonderful laugh and sense of humor. The best thing that ever happened to him was when he met and married Sandy. He absolutely adored her. Although I had lost touch with him after I moved from Wichita I did think of him fairly often. It sounds like he had a wonderful family. My thoughts and prayers are with them and know they will cherish wonderful memories.
I am so sorry to hear this Brian I enjoyed the burping contest stories. We did have some good game memories!! Thinking of you and your family . Barbara Harding and family.
