Heaven has gained a beautiful angel. Bob was one of the kindest man I have ever known, a friend to everyone. Neighbors here in the Meadows of St. John loved Bob and were sad when he and his wife, Shirley left the neighborhood. Rest in Peace sweet man…..job well done here on earth. Judy Rita, St. John, IN

Bob and Windy were best buddies from their teens until now. He stood up for our wedding. Bob and Shirley were an important part of our lives. We shared so much. We will miss you, buddy. God bless you and may you rest in peace.
