Joyce and family, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Remember the good times and let them comfort you both now and in the days ahead.
Thank you so much, many good memories.
Bob, dear friend, may you rest in peace. I know I haven’t seen you in years, but, I joyfully remember our time as neighbors, and more importantly, friends. I would love to have one last Schiltz with you, but, it will have to wait until we meet up again.
It has been a long time, thank you so much.
It is so hard to say goodbye to a great neighbor and friend. The Wetherbee’s has been true neighbors for 53 years. Bob always ready to help whenever the call was made. They have watched my kids as they grew up and filled in as grandparents when needed. I have so many stories of Bob that it would take me all day to write. I meant him while I was a kid and he was working at Gilbert Oil, finding that out when we moved to Three Rivers in 1972. Bob had a special name for my daughter Jennifer (Jenny) Jenny Mule. However, it was only Bob that was allowed by her to call her that. Your will be missed my friend but you are in God’s hands now and fishing I hope. Jeannine Hire Jennifer and James Somerlott
We are so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. May happy memories of his life help you all through this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Thank you so much.
