Dear Pat, Bob and I were very saddened to learn of your Bob's passing. He was such a special man. Although our paths crossed just now and then, we grew to love this beautiful man of God and masonic brother. Our hearts go out to you and you are in our thoughts and prayers. May you be comforted in knowing how much the both of you are loved both in heaven and on earth. Beverly Elrod

My condolences to the entire family. I remember Bob from his days at Holy Trinity. He was instrumental in the development of my faith during my impressionable teenage years. I recall him speaking to the Youth Group - one particular analogy remains with me: he said that our relationship with God is something like the relationship between an orbiting planet and the sun - sometimes we feel quite close to God, other times we feel distant, but the connection is real and steadfast..... I also have very fond memories of babysitting Mary, Todd and Andra! Blessings to you all.....
