We had the pleasure to call Bobbie and Dot friends. We enjoyed serving with Bobbie in the National Guard. We also enjoyed the many hours we played cards in their home. May you rest in peace Bobbie. To the family, please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

We are sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. As a young girl, I spent summers with Uncle Henry and Aunt Minnie. I have many good memories of those summers. Bob, Bill and the girls kept me busy and Saturday nights were so much fun. May God give you comfort and peace in the days ahead
Our love and prayers. Roland and Gayle Cooksley
Dear Mark, Lois, and family,
