Dear Aunt Margaret and my dear cousins,
I am so sorry that I could not be with you to pray and celebrate the life of my Uncle Bob.
I have so many wonderful memories of him, times in Deerfield, and family reunions. He always made me feel special; he was always interested in my life. He is a person who gave life by his presence.
You all are so blessed to have this wonderful man in your lives. My dad was so fond of him! We are praying for Uncle Bob and for all of you.
Love from the Beley Family - Jim, Ellen, Jimmy, Catherine, Tommy and Michael

Bob and Pat,
Dave and I send our sympathy to you and your family. We had such a nice conversation with Bob at Rachel and Steve's party a couple of years ago. He was an interesting guy and someone to get to know better. We know there are many memories to keep him close.

Dear Margaret,
You and Bob were such models of a perfect marriage and family for your special friends, The Gay 19. For sixty-six years you brought us integrity, strong faith, good judgment and living loving spirit. Thank you. May now your own deep faith sustain you in losing Bob; may your family stick together; and may we remember forever Bob's life of goodness and grace.
Peace, Helen Sauer Brown

Lucky Bob was a rare combination of down-to-earth farm boy, innovative world-traveling businessman, devoted family man, impish storyteller, and gentle soul. I will always remember his voice and his smile--and especially his pride in his beautiful family.
