We were saddened to read about Bob’s passing. May the many treasured memories sustain you during this most difficult time. We pray that you find comfort in our Creator’s promises to reunite us with our beloved ones again, in a youthful world, where the causes of pain and sorrow will be a thing of the past. How exciting it will be to see him again doing all the things he loved. Forever find comfort reading Isaiah 25:8, which promises that our tears of mourning will end when death is done away with. Our sincerest condolences to the Family.

Dear Aunt Kay and cousins, Uncle Bob was my most favorite Uncle. I recall several trips to the car races and rides in his convertible as a very young kid not to mention the motorcycle rides. Annette and I pray God’s blessing for you and family during this time.

— Stephen Postma

Dear Kay, I was sad to see the announcement through the GBF email about Bob's passing, while at the same time thankful that he has been set free from his struggle with dementia, as the obituary says. He is home with the Savior he loved. We are praying for comfort for you and your family.
