Dear Betty, Ronda and family,
You are in our thoughts and prayers. We’ll never forget Bob, his sense of humor, his generosity and his helpfulness. We were neighbors in spirit! Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies for your loss.
Betty, ‘Mutt’ was such a dear friend to us, always lending a helping hand. He was like a father to Troy, always there for Troy to talk to and to offer him advice. It is going to be hard not seeing him when we go to the garden. We’ll take care of you and we want you to know how much Mutt meant to both of us. Our loss is Heaven’s gain.
Janna, Brian, and Jim:
Our hearts go out to you at this time as well as to the rest of the family.
You are in our thoughts, hearts, and prayers continually.
We love you!

Dear Betty and Family: As we were growing up ‘Mutt’ was always a very dear friend of our family. We knew him as being so helpful to all he met, a good sense of humor, and a very caring individual. He was a ‘giving’ person….not only of himself and love for others, but anything he had in his gardens. He lived a good life for many years and will certainly be missed by those who knew him. May God bless yours days and months ahead with His Abiding Love..
