Again, boys, we are so sorry for your loss. Bruce always enjoyed working with him while on the fire dept. Our hearts go out to you at this difficult time. God bless.
Words can not describe what you guys are going through with loosing both parents in one weekend. You have a lot of “fire” friends that are all praying for you.
I was sad to hear of Bobs passing and then again of Sandy’s. I have a lot of fond memories of working along side Bob at many fire functions and calls. He was a great asset to the fire dept.
Larry Johnson Retired Fire Chief of Brandon Vol. Fire Dept
After much laughing and joking I told him , I’m sure if I had a brother he would be like you . After that , Bob called me Sis. We also called him Dr. Zuke for his computer knowledge and help with those issues. He would always laugh when I would call him “brother Dr. Zuke”.
Going to miss the laughs and fun . Mike & I always enjoyed the conversations.
To Steve ,Alex & Chris and family you are in our prayers.
Sorry for your lose sending prayers for strength to help all get through this
I was very sorry to read of the passing of your Mom and Dad.May God hold your hands as promised at Isaiah 41:10-13.
I am so sorry for your loss. May the God who “binds up the brokenhearted” and “comforts all who mourn” sustain your family during this challenging time. (Isaiah 61:1,2 NWT)
With heartfelt sympathy,
