So sad to learn of my classmate’s death. Bob was a fun, caring, and respected member of the Loogootee High School class of 1964. He attended all our reunions and especially enjoyed our 50th celebrated in July 2014. We are so grateful that Peggy made it possible for Bob to attend. He lives on in our hearts as we remember the times we shared through the years. May your memories of him bring comfort in the days ahead.
Peggy,
Mo and I are sorry for your loss. Bob is at peace and not in pain. May the Holy Spirit wrap his loving arms around you and your family
