A special thank you to Kelly Canterbury, hospice nurse for being so kind and caring. Special thanks to extended family members for being there and showing love and support.

Everyone will always remember Bob with his thoughtful caring ways. He was always there for anyone who needed help. My heart is broken, and I am left with the memories of my sweetheart of 62 years. I'll keep him in my heart and mind for the rest of my life. Raising our three daughters, vacations, and the many things we shared. Bob is with God until I see him again. I love you, Honey. Jean
