I was so very sorry to see that you have lost Bob. I know we haven't seen each other in a very long time, but I remember our time working together at CBS (Nancy Curtis/Tennant). Praying that you will find God's peace in the days to come.

Dear Igyarto family, especially Katherine, who I had the pleasure of teaching in 7th, 8th and 9th grade back in the 80s at Watson Junior High in Widefield.

Although I was unable to come to the rosary and funeral yesterday, I did want you to know I saw Bob's obituary in the Gazette, and had hoped to attend his funeral because I wanted to be there for both you and your Momma, your brother, too. Katherine, I think your Daddy was a good man - I remember him as that - active in his faith, a good father and a good husband. I would like to reconnect with you some time, if you would like to contact me. It is still the same email - [email protected].

Please know your earthly father (and husband) can do more for you in heaven then he ever could do on earth. Father Clement Machado (of EWTN) told me that after my own sweet Joe died so suddenly and so young, and I pass that on for you and your dearest mom. I prayed this morning at Mass for your Dad - something I do before receiving the Eucharist. It is the most powerful part of the Mass. You can do the same. God is listening. Remain Satisfied in Him,

I'm sorry for your loss. Your dad was a hoot. I loved listening to his stories, especially his stories about food and childhood. He will be missed by many.
