This brought tears to my eyes when I received word of Bob's passing. I knew Bob and Lorene well. My Aunt Nancy Fletcher and I would always look forward to our Saturday lunches at the Dutchman's Daughter with Bob and Lorene. Lorene was his life and when she passed I wondered how he was doing. What a wonderful person. I was so happy we crossed paths. He will be sadly missed. Please accept my deepest condolences.
Our condolences to Bob and Lorene's family. Our prayers are with you all.
I am sorry to have heard this. I remember spending time back in the holler’ with my grandpa ( Bill “ Toddy” Hayes) and going to visit Uncle Bob and then him moving back in the holler’ also. I always remembered him telling me about his time in the service and being in Cherry Hill NJ, oddly enough my family and I live near Cherry Hill, every time I go there I think about him. My family and I send our condolences, I will always remember him from my childhood …great memories
Our deepest sympathies for your loss! What a loving and kind family you are with all the care always given to your parents and grandparents.
Rich and Deanna,
Please accept my condolences. Uncle Bob was always so quick witted and fun to be around. I always enjoyed listening to dad and uncle Bob poking fun of each other. Dad loved uncle Bob and spoke so fondly of him. He and dad grew up together and had a special bond. He will be missed by myself and the all who knew him. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Your cousin,
Donald
