So sorry for your loss. He sounded like a good soul, may he rest in peace.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. David and Bob had good times hunting through the years
My condolences to Bob’s family. I met Bob when he did significant – and beautiful – stonework at my home. So enjoyed not only the beautiful stonework he did but also just chatting with him. He was a good man. His work will endure at my home for many, many years to come. May he rest in peace.
Prayers to the family. From all of us (Fruth).
