Kathy, I feel so lucky to have known your dad. My life was enriched by having met him, and I am a better person because of knowing him. I have so many memories of him making me laugh, trying to embarrass you, and teasing your mom. And he was so kind to help me at a difficult time in my life. He was just a great guy! Love, Linda
Dear Family, I was sorry to learn of the death of such a valued and loved family member. During a time such as this those who care wish to do something to ease the pain that is unlike any other. My family also experienced such a loss and because we received comfort from others, I wanted to bring a measure of comfort to others who have lost loved ones to our common enemy, death.(1 Corinthians 15,26) The best comfort comes from the book of truth, God's word, the Bible. Our Creator cares for us as 1 Peter 5:7 states. He also has seen humans experience the horrendous pain that the death of one's loved ones can cause. Such was the case with the righteous man Job who lost 10 children in death all at one time! Yet Job expressed hope of seeing his loved ones again.(Job 14:14,15) Jesus stated at John 5:28,29 that there will be a resurrection in the future. Also, God promised at Revelation 21:3,4 that one day death, pain, tears and sorrow will be gone. I sincerely hope that this condolence will help to bring your family a measure of comfort, hope and peace during this time.
You were loved and you will certainly be missed.
We will all miss Uncle Bob. I think he was one of the most interesting people I've ever known – certainly one of the nicest. I can't tell you how many people I've told about the Podunk Fire Company. He certainly lived a full life, and lived it on his terms. They say that God doesn't give you more than you can handle. Well, God must have thought Uncle Bob was Hercules, because he sure handled a lot. We love you and miss you, Uncle Bob. Randy and Mary Hutchison
Kathy I want you to know that your dad was so dear to my heart. Uncle Bob brought us so much joy and laughter. What an icredible man and certainly he lived a full life as we can see in all of his photos. I know that you, your family and friends will have many wonderful memories of the pictures we posted. May your memories of your father comfort you. Mary Hutchison
