Bob was lovingly referred to as “Dude” by several great-nephews. He grew up on the family farm, living and breathing wheat. People that knew him might have said that he had wheat growing in his veins. Recently he retired, yet he still enjoyed watching the wheat grow and he loved watching this year’s great crop as they harvested it. On Friday, August 24, 2018, the family had a small graveside memorial service in Lind. They are asking instead of cards or flowers, for donations to be sent to the search and cure for Diabetes.

The death of someone we care about can be one of the most difficult experiences of life. Words seem inadequate to describe how painful the grief we feel can be. It is often much more challenging than we expect and than others seem to think.
