    Bob,John, and Marsha, Barb and I would like to send our condolences in the Passing of your Dad. Your Dad always had a smile and greeted me with a firm hand shake. And the question "how ya doing Dave and how's the family". I think back of all the years your Dad and my Dad worked together. And what a partnership and friendship that was over the many years. Your Dad is in a better place and back with your mom. What a blessing.

    We are so sorry to hear about the loss of your dad. I will always remember him for giving me my first job at the bank in 1962. He was always so kind to me and my family throughout the years even after i left the bank. Your dad impacted many lives and will be missed greatly. May God give you peace that he isnt suffering anymore. Regretfully we wont be able to come to the visitation as we are in Arizona for two months.

    Dear Bob, John, Marsha, and families, We are saddened at the loss of Kaywin, our neighbor. We have enjoyed knowing Kaywin and Adeline over the years and looked forward to having him next door a while longer. His family was his joy and we are thankful that you made the effort to help stay in his home until God called him home. We will miss hearing him sing in the shower (only when the window was open!) and the lively conversation we would have as we gathered our mail together. May God hold you close as you grieve your loss.

    Marsha & Families, Integrity and Concerned are the two words that always came to mind whenever I bumped into your Dad. He will be missed, he changed many lives and was a pleasure to know. I can remember seeing him with Marsha's hand in his, bringing her back to the playground after lunch at home. We were all so jealous! May your memories bring you through this time.

    Bob: We send our sincere condolences to you and all your family. Although your dad had a great run, it's still a tough loss. The unfortunate trade-off is that it's always in direct proportion to the quality of the relationship you had. Be comforted by your many great memories.

    Dear McClure family, I am so sorry to hear of your fathers death. I will always remember walking to school, with my brothers and sister, meeting your Dad daily, on his way to work at the bank. He always stopped and talked to us and had such a smile on his face and a spirit in his walk! He was Eureka, like so many of that generation, and will be missed! Such a classy couple, your Mom and Dad were! Hugs

    Dear Bob,John and Marsha I'm down in FL where mom is. She read on the Internet when your Dad passed away. I thought I might be back by this last weekend for the sevice. Didn't happen. I'd met your dad at a couple different benefits in the last couple of years. He really seemed upbeat and in good spirits. I talked to him about donating my body to science like your mom did. Sorry to hear of his passing. Mom said she was going to stop in and see Bob when she gets back in April. You sure have my thoughts and Sympathy. Sincerly Dave Bell
