Dear Barbara and family,
It saddens me to hear of your loss. Bob was always so kind to me when we worked together at Ozark and TWA. I pray that the good Lord will bring comfort to you all during this difficult time.
So sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. A friend to have known
Michelle praying for you and family, I’m so sorry for your loss. He will be missed I’m sure, embrace the loving memories! Hugs sweet friend
My condolences go out to Bob’s family. I will always remember him fondly as a true gentleman. I was just a young girl working midnights so I could go to classes at SLU during the day, when I worked in the Ozark/TWA hangar with Bob.
He was very kind to me. Always smiling with a good word.
You all will be in my prayers.
Sincere condolences to all of you – “Uncle Bob” was an amazing man and will be missed. Prayers to your family.
Our sincere condolences. He has joined my mom Nancee Cousins, in heaven forever.
Michelle and family,
We are so very sorry for your loss. We pray the memories of your father and his love are bringing you comfort and peace.
Brother and Uncle, Bob will remain in our hearts. Our heartfelt condolences. We will miss him. Don and family
