Uncle Bob and Aunt Louella were such patient people,  to allow me to spend my summers with them, working in the wheat fields,  teaching me how to drive wheat truck . Some of my best memories of my childhood are in that house with them. He will surely be missed,    Tami McCoy Iltz

Aunt Louella and family,
My memory of Uncle Bob as a kind, hardworking man. He always had something nice to say, no matter how busy, when I'd wander up to the shop. You are in our thoughts and prayers. 
Leslie, Steve and family

Dear Louella, I did not know about Bob's passing until this morning at 7:15 AM. It came as a bit of a shock. I'm so sorry that I was not able to be at the service but, please know that I was there with you and your family in Spirit.  May God hold you in his hands and comfort you in this time of sorrow.

Dear Louella and family. I always remember how kind Bob was and he always looked so handsome. Whenever I saw him he would always ask how my family and I were doing. A very caring man. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Vernita

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Uncle Bob will always be in my memories of growing up on the farm.  His wave when he drove past the house, the conversations at harvest dinners and stopping in to say hi when home visiting after we had moved away.  Keeping Aunt Louella, Susan, Lee and their families in thoughts and prayers.

The Washington State Veterans Cemetery extend our deepest sympathies to the family of Robert L. Praetorius for your loss, to honor his service to our country and our patriotic hero.

My prays and thoughts go out to your family.  God be with all of you.
