We will be forever grateful for Bob’s friendship with us and especially our mom Pat while she was a resident at Catholic Care. Mom adored Bob for good reason! He was such a tremendous example of living his faith each and every day…something we all admired. We will sorely miss him, and extend our sympathy and heartfelt prayers to his family.

Sending much love and deep sympathy to a beautiful family.
I knew Bob for a little over a year, and I’m beyond thankful that I met him. All of the stories, jokes, and memories we have together, I’ll forever cherish them. Watch down on on every one of us, Bobbers. You are now at rest. I’ll miss you.
May Bob be rejoicing in a beautiful and eternal peace! Although I can definitely see him taking time out to intercede for all of us! The Brooke family remembers always his kindness towards us when Jeff passed away. Deepest sympathies – Cindy Brooke Holy
Bob was a hero. He survived a terrible accident and was courageous to the end. The Gullickson family has always been a loving and faith-filled family. May God reward him and all his family eternally for their faith and goodness.
Our deep and sincere sympathy for the loss of a wonderful person. Our “across the fence” conversations with Bob will always be a lasting memory as a blessing. You are in our prayers. Ed & Marlene Thode
Sorry for your loss.
Words cannot express how we feel for you today. Our hope is our prayers, however, will lift you up and allow a smile to cross your hearts as you envision Bob standing tall, walking to his Father. May his soul, now and forever, rest in God’s love.
To all the Gullicksons, I was astonished and sad to learn of Bob’s passing. I apologize for not being able to attend the services and share memories for a man so fine as Bob. All my memories of Bob are happy and a great many hysterically funny. It was an honor to have known him, and all of the Gullicksons for that matter. What a family! I am sorry for your loss and please know that it is a loss for all of us. Bob was a good man, a loyal friend, and an outstanding human being. I’d like to think the better parts of me were learned from Bob’s example of how to live a generous and virtuous life regardless of adversity.
Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
