Bob was a close family friend of mine and even married my wife and I. Bob was one of the best men I’ve met in my life. He lived by his morals and values. Not many people do that! He will be greatly missed.
I love you, Pa.

I will miss you but I know where you are & I’ll see you again. I thank God for you. You led me to Christ , no better friend on this earth than that. You cared about my soul . you cared about everyones soul. You were the most sincere man I ever knew. RIP Pastor Bob, I love you always .

Jerry, Krystil, and I want to express our sympathy to the whole family and the church on the loss of a gentle kind man. I will let my mother, Jeanette Phillips, know of his passing and I am sure she will mourn the loss also. May he rest in Jesus’s arms with Alice by his side!
Bob was such a wonderful man, he was the same person any time you saw him. Always smiling and friendly. My prayers to his family.
