Carol and family, We are sorry for your loss and know Bob will be missed greatly. We are so thankful for the assurance that he is in a better place. I do not know what heaven is like but I like to think he was greeted by his Dad and his Grandparents when he arrived on July 25. I hope the wonderful memories you have bring a measure of comfort.

I'm very sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I worked with him for several years at Lockheed Martin and knew him as a caring person, concerned with the welfare of all, not just for his co-workers but particularly for the welfare of the indiginous peoples of Central America.

Carol,
We are so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in our prayers. I will always remember DB's fantastic smile. I know many times at Mass I might be feeling down and I would look at DB sitting in his chair and grin and he would give me a big smile back. It made my day better. Indeed, my whole spiritual life is better because of DB.
