Nancy, Mike & Bob:
We are extremely sorrowed to hear of Bobby’s passing. He is no longer suffering and is now with his Lord & Savior along with his Dad, Mom & brother. Although I have not seen cousin Bob for over 20 years, I have the memories of our visits to St. Joe to visit family many years ago.
We pray that the Lord will comfort you during these difficult times.
My thoughts and prayer with you always. Take Care
Love

I’m so sorry to hear of Bobs passing. Our families were great friends from childhood on 17th Street. Bobs mom was a special person in my life and so from my family both Rutherford’s and Lindsays know we extend our sympathy.

Very sorry to hear about Bob. He was always a great guy and friend since we grew up in the old neighborhood . I know you all have many good memories for all of the family to share. My sympathies and prayers to you all.
Very sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. I worked with him many years at Wire Rope and will miss his smiling face. My sympathy and prayers go out to all his family and friends.
I will miss Bob! He was one of my first and best friends from the Hi Ho! He always was smiling and had something postive to say.

So long, Cuz Bobby. Will cherish fond memories of our days (and nights)keeping Kansas green in Wathena.
My condolences to the family and friends. I’m sure my classmate Nancy will miss you.
Nancy and Mike, so sorry for your loss. Bob was a great guy and he will be missed greatly.
For over 60 years I had the pleasure to know Bob. We walked to and from St. Francis grade school together, hitched rides to CB together from Bob’s dad, went to summer school together. He was my lifelong friend and I will miss him.
All through grade school and high school Bob and I were buddies. I seemed to always be getting rides with Bob’s Dad, or Mario’s or Jack’s. Ah, those were the days. We had some good times. We will all miss our old buddy, Bob Nash. RIP, don beamon
Dear Nancy, I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. Bob was a funny man, and I enjoyed knowing him. May memories bring you comfort to soothe your soul. I’m sure he’s with Hannah and they’re making mischief.
