Marcia and the Ellis Family: Our deepest sympathy and condolences to you and your family. We have fond memories of the times that we were able to visit Indianapolis and see you at most of the Baughman family events. I’m sure my Dad was waiting at the ‘pearly gates’ to welcome Bob with open arms. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. Steve/Kathy Baughman
To the entire Page family from the entire Barry Like family sorry for your loss. I have to share one story. I was a neighbor of Bob and Marcia for 6 years in Beech Grove. Bob was always helpful to me about fixing something around the house or borrowing a tool. He even got me a part time job one time. But the best was when Susan went into labor with our now 27 year old son Matthew I was in Evansville IN working. Those were the days before I carried a cell phone. By the time I got the message and got back it was at least 4 hours. Bob took her to the old St.Francis hospital and stayed with her untill I got there. That is one of the reasons why I always considered him a good friend and neighbor.
So sorry to hear of the loss of Bob. May the family find comfort from the scripture at Acts 24:15 which says, “And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” What a beautiful promise for our future! Your family will be in my prayers.
