Sad to learn about Bob’s passing. A true friend- kind man- and helpful with our careers as younger men at Geupel DeMars. We will miss him now especially the lunch group that often met once each month at Murphy’s steak house. Blessings to Bob and his family Gary Little
Sending you our prayers and love.
Bob’s kindness was shown to us about 30 years ago when he gave us a beautiful butterfly house he made. The workmanship was second to none, and we are still enjoying it today. His smile brought joy to all! Rest in peace, Bob! Love and prayers to all who loved him.
We are saddened to hear of Bob’s passing. Many fond memories of our families together and we are all sending prayers. Lake Wawasee holds a special place in our heart, and so does Bob. Dad and Bob are sharing stories in heaven, just like old times. The Thise’s- Mary, Brian and Nancy.
Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Chris, Kelley, and Luci Roberts
