  1. Dear Nancy & Family: It is with a sad heart but a joyful one in the Lord to offer our condolences. We just heard about Bob as we don't get the paper every day. Sounds like your family, Nancy, is as large as ours. We have 10 Grandchildren (2 boys & 8 girls). Sure would like to get your address so we could keep in contact....miss you Nancy! Just think about you last week again....Sue Phelps

  2. Dear Gannon family, I was very surprised to hear of Bob's passing. I worked with Bob for many years at my family's company. I think he was one of the kindest persons I had ever met. He was a pleasure to work with. My sincere condolences and he will be in my prayers.
