Bob use to take me and his son, Andy, golfing on Sunday afternoons when we were in early high school circa 1967/1968.  We were neighbors living in Blackhawk Forest back them.  

Todd Nalley

It was with sadness that I learned of Bob's passing. We worked together for 40 years at International/Navistar and after traveling the world with Bob I considered him a very good friend.
I appreciated his truck knowledge and support. The family has my sincere sympathy at this sad time.

Bob was a good neighbor when I lived next door to him. When I was outside he would always wave & say hello to me. He was a gentle soul. My sympathy goes out to all the family, especially you Candy as you are a very dear friend. RIP, Bob.

My dear Bob, I miss you so . You will always be with me. All my love, Candy.

Bob was our neighbor when we lived in Fort Wayne.  He easily turned into a "forever friend" to our family!  The girls love him like a grandpa & I will never forget his kindness when my husband was stationed in Iraq.

Sending my prayers and sympathy for the family.  Worked with Bob at IH/Navistar for a number of years with fond memories.

Grandpa, you will be missed but we have good memories that will always be treasured.

Dear all:  Please accept our prayers and sympathy in the loss of Robert. We enjoyed seeing him at the dental office for many years even though it wasn't always his favorite place to visit. Dr Jim Potts

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

 Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
 Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
 That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
 God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

 It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

 God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not  be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
