We were so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. What a good and Godly man, Bob was. I had not seen him in the last couple of years, but I enjoyed a number of visits with him over the years at church and at Jenkins.

Our sincerest condolences to all of Bob's family.
Love, Greg, Jeanne, Emilee and Shawn Horning
