Bob was a good man and I have many memories of him when I came to the house to visit with the foster children he and Barb took care of. He always smiled and had a story to tell. I am thinking of your families and am sorry for your loss.

To the Bob's family
Bob and Barb took Athena and gave her all the love in the world for that I have alot of respect for him. He had a big heart for keeping her even after Barb passed away not many would do that. Love can build a bridge and he put up a big bridge.

Wayland and Family: Wayland, I did not know your Dad, but if he raised a man like you, he must have been a good man. God be with your family at this sad time.

When my mother was dieing from lung cancer,and she needed oxygen one night,uncle Bob gave one of his oxygen bottles until she got hers. My prayers are with the family,and I thank you LORD for Bob's life that he gave unselfishly Amen.
~ Harris Eisenbraun Kadoka (1/2/2011)

Wayland & Family...I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. Loosing a dad is so hard, but keeping the good memories close to your heart during this time is a great comfort. You're in my prayers. God Bless
~ Cindy Nuzum Buffalo, SD (1/2/2011)

To everybody who has kept our family in their prayers and thoughts, thank you. This man was not only a great example of how people should be, but he was also the best grandfather anyone could ever be gifted with. I know. He was mine. I am Neal's oldest daughter and was gifted to get to know my grandfather as long as I did. Some of us grandkids do not have that gift. Still, thank you to all who have been there for us in this troubling time.
