It is with our deepest thoughts and prayers as we join you in remembering Bob. He was not only an inspiration/mentor to my late husband Steve during their California days, he became a advocate in raising Dustin and Nick after Steve's death. May god bless you all and thank you for keeping us close even though we are miles apart!

Our special thoughts go out to all of you. With your heavy hearts, we hope that you find a way to handle things as they come around each corner. Bud and I know the Brunow family from our days together through LC. Bud became quite connected with a few of the "Brunow boys" of the high school years. May you have peace and strength. Arleen and Bud
