Marnie, such a devastating loss for you, and for the family. You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. Dot

Bob was such a class act. One of the few professionals in leadership in Billings I had respect for. He led with soul and treated people with integrity, kindness and such fairness. He would roll up his sleeves and help others-he wasn't afraid of getting dirty and didn't take credit that was not his to take. I am sorry for the family's loss of this good man.

To all the extended family members of this wonderful man. Words can not express the loss that is felt with Bob's passing. Bob's impact on my life is un-measurable. His willingness to share his talents, his materials, his advice, and his love leaves me humble. I am proud that he called me his brother. May God be with you all in this time of profound grief, you remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Bob and I begin our careers together back in the early 70’s, he at CORE Enterprises and Mental Health and me at Rehab Services. I was happy when he became the director at the Mental Health Center as I knew it would be great to work with him. I'll miss Bob and enjoyed the many years we worked together trying to figure things out, sometimes we did and sometimes we didn't but we had fun trying. Occasionally he would show up in my office and when I would ask him why he was there he would say he was out of coffee. He was solid and we went through several personal changes in our lives and it was always comforting to know he would be there for me. I’ll remember him with this prayer for his journey and the healing of his family and friends. My deepest sympathy to all. O Lord, glorify his station, shelter him under the pavilion of Thy supreme mercy, cause him to enter Thy glorious paradise, and perpetuate his existence in Thine exalted rose garden, that he may plunge into the sea of light in the world of mysteries. Warm regards, Dan

My sympathy to Marnie and Bob's family. He was a great friend to me and always made me feel loved whenever he "held" me. He came to hunt on my property; always the last day of the season, saying he would be glad to take whatever was left, just to get out and stroll in the country side! He was such a scholar of information it was always a pleasure to have him visit. May God in Heaven enrich him in his "new" life. Joan
