I too put off too long writing something. We will forever miss Fr. Bob. But, the gift of everlasting faith he gave us will be with all of the family at Prince of Peace. Thank you Fr. Bob for the love and kindness you showed to all, especially to our grandson, Gabriel. We will never forget!##imported-begin##William and Kathleen Sapp##imported-end##
Hi webmaster!##imported-begin##Kazeliho##imported-end##
I kept putting this off, but knew that I wanted to write something about our beloved Fr. Bob.
Throughout this last year, I was well aware, as all of us were, that Fr. Bob was battling pancreatic cancer. However,I never took the time to tell him how thankful I was for his presence in my life. I never took the time to say a proper good-bye. I just thought, or perhaps hoped, he would always just be there. So, thank you Fr. Bob for your guidance in Faith. Thank you for bringing Bill into the Catholic Faith. Thank you for singing beautifully and peacefully over my 2 precious daughters as you Baptized them into the Catholic Faith. Thank you for all of your smirks, jokes and wisecracks! Thank you for making us - and everyone who had the pleasure of meeting you - feel like we were indeed your best of friends. You had an incredible gift and it is up to us to make sure that your gift is not soon forgotten. God Bless your soul Fr. Bob and may the Lord greet you with open arms into your Eternal Life. Thank you for being our beloved Fr. Bob.##imported-begin##Heather Gaston and Family##imported-end##

Our deepest condolences to the Hart Family.
I know this is a very difficult time for you but it might help to remember the twinkle in his eye and his keen sense of humor. He did love to tease all of us, didn't he?
You should be very proud of his service to God's community.
He always spoke so lovingly of his family. He was so very proud of all of you and loved you very much.
Thanks for sharing him with us. He was one of a kind and his passing has left a void in our lives.
Time will ease the pain. You will be in our thoughts and prayers.##imported-begin##The Host Family##imported-end##
Dear Hart Family:
(from a Hallmark card)
Wishing You Peace
A Message of Sympathy
Listen for angels
hovering near,
whispering words
you are longing to hear--
Love is not over...
life is not gone...
now and forever,
the spirit lives on.
Even in your sadness,
may you find comfort
in knowing that the angels
must be smiling
because your loved one
is among them now.
With Sympathy
Love,
Jason and Kimberly Willbrandt##imported-begin##Jason Willbrandt##imported-end##
Fr. Bob you will be greatly missed by all, but especially all of the young people you have touched throughout the years. I remember our son talking about the Friday nights you and your brother Dick cooked fish for many of them. You are now in God's gentle hands, telling stories, planning trips, and maybe cooking a little fish.##imported-begin##Steve & Dee Horan##imported-end##
