Rest in peace now big brother. Love you. ❤
Bob has gone to be with his Savior, Jesus Christ. Jan and I enjoyed many evenings in a Bible study group with Bob and Karen. He was a devoted Lawrence Lion.
Bob was such a great human being. A role model and inspiration to many of us. I enjoyed my time with Bob and Karen by providing leisure activities through LPRD and Special Olympics. Great life full of memories that will never be forgotten. Rest in peace Bob!

I was Bob and Karen’s supervisor at Cottonwood working at the Packers Plastics enclave. I remember Bob and Karen being very hard workers. I am very sorry to see his passing. And my deepest condolences to Karen and the entire family. -Brad Mullenix
Dear Karen and family,
I imagine Bob is playing basketball ball with all the greats up there in Heaven.
He probably has a few suggestions for them also. I never knew someone who loved the KU Jayhawks like Bob did.
So sorry for you loss. Keeping you in my prayers.
