Our hearts go out to you, Billie, Becky, Bobbi, Sarita, and your families. I have so many fond memories of Bob, starting when he was preaching for the Lancaster congregation in the mid '60's. I remember being excited when Bob agreed to take the work in Ontario as I knew we vacationed there periodically. One of many cherished memories is when Bob & I "pulled a fast one" over on my gullable grandmother. One summer Bob & I would use one of the member's pool, with their permission of couse, while they were away. Bob was an excellent swimmer but my grandmother didn't know that. We conspired together one day and I mentioned to grandmother that I was going to call Bob on the phone and tell him I no longer wanted to swim with him. I had gotten tired of always dragging him out of the deep water -- that he would always want to dive off the board but just couldn't swim worth a "flip." When I called Bob with my grandmother within "earshot," she was so flustered as she was the kind of person who never liked to make "waves" with anyone. Of course we quickly told her about our little prank and she was so relieved! Bob was an excellent proclaimer of God's Word and I always enjoyed hearing him preach. I'll miss him here but as you, will look forward to seeing him again.
With Heartfelt Condolences,
Larry & Linda
