Don, Jim, Ann: Your Dad has been in my thoughts often in recent years, especially since seeing him at my Mom's memorial service a few years ago, and later when your mother passed. Some of my best memories are of our families camping together at Pinnacles or goofing off in your back yard some weekends. I knew nothing of your Dad's WWII service or Minnesota roots. Pretty neat guy! Hope to see you in June at the memorial, -Dave Whitaker

As chaplain of the 376th Bomb group I send our condolences to Bob's family and friends. Bob's contribution to the war effort was a great sacrifice that led to victory over the Axis powers. His return home to build post-war America as a member of the Greatest Generation was no less significant. To a great American and vet. may the comfort of God be with you. Robert B. Oliver, Chaplain, 376th

Well, Bob was a special and wonderful member of Aurora Singers. I was fortunate to sing next to him and got to drive him to rehearsals. He was a proud WWII vet and really appreciated the time together to share his love for music, Dawn and love for all the ladies. I miss him but am fortunate to have known him. A wonderful and special person????????

Your dad was a treasure...his bravery, interests, talent and humor.....The twinkle in his eyes showed you his soul. I look forward to celebrating his life with you.
