First, we want to thank you for your outpouring of love. Bob was our hero and we loved him beyond what words can describe. But hearing how his life impacted so many has been amazing. Some have privately shared with us the funniest stories about your interaction or encounter with him. We have loved them. They make us laugh and cry all at the same time. How healing it is for his family and great for his grandchildren to hear. So we thank you!

Bob’s Celebration service will be on Saturday, July 6, at 11 a.m. at Autumn Ridge Church in Rochester. There will a visitation one hour prior to that and also visitation on Friday, July 5, 5 - 7 p.m. in the Autumn Ridge Church Timothy Chapel. 

Bob asked that all memorial gifts be used to build a chapel in the Dominican Republic in the summer of 2020. So that’s what we will do. He loved the DR and doing whatever God put in front of him there. He has been there many, many times building chapels in villages where the congregation had been praying for years to have one. It is fitting to honor Bob this way. 

Thank you again for your outpouring of love.
