To Bev and the entire family,

I always liked BOB...through Karate, neighbors, friends and everything...he was a good man. Bev, do you remember the incident with me and Billy Russell and the Corvair? That's something I'll never forget...and I hope you won't either. Lots of laughs and good times and memories. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. We will all miss BOB. Dave Hacker

My sincere condolences. Bob helped me find my inner strength through karate. While I only knew him for a short time, his teachings were and still are a continued source of inspiration for me.

The the Lee Family:



I was sorry to hear of your loss. Bob was my Karate teacher for a long time. Through his lessons he just didn't teach me Karate but a lot about how to handle yourself in your daily life. I will miss him.



Warmest Regards,

Bob and Beverly were married on February 9th 1961. On that day we became in laws. We knew Bob as a good husband, father, grandfather and brother in law. It didn't take long for us to become family and that familyhood has lasted over forty four years. We shall miss him very much.
