My condolences to all of Bob's family and friends. I was a high school classmate of Bob's. He was a person who could (and actually still can) bring a smile to your face whenever you think about him.
Just a nice guy to be around. I'm sorry that I lost track of him after graduation.
Again, my condolences to everyone who knew him.

My husband, Duane, and I knew Bob and Jean through Marriage Encounter many years ago. We made our "original weekends" together and stayed in the same circle afterwards for many years. They were good friends. Our daughters were even baby sitters for Jeff and Joy when they were babies! I'll always remember Bob's big smile and warm hugs! He was "one of the good guys".

I was shocked to learn about Bob S. when I read the paper this afternoon! I fully expected to see them both at our 40th class reunion which is only five weeks away....but, it was not to be! When God calls you home, the rest of us must accept it.
My sincerest condolences to his family and friends and all who knew him. There will be lots of your classmates who will miss you at the reunion, Bob, old buddy!

My deepest sympathies and condolences to the family. Linda, the thought that comes to mind is the smile that came across your face at the mention of Bob's name. He was obviously a kind, caring and wonderful man. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
