Dear Pat,
My dad, Bill Johnson and myself, Lisa Thournout would like to express our deepest sympathies to you and your family for the loss of your husband Bob. My father was in the bed next to Bob for the last three weeks and I was very saddened when I saw Bob’s obituary. You are still in my prayers as this will be a very difficult time for you. Bob is no longer suffering and has been called home, bless him.
Bill Johnson & Lisa Thournout
My sincere condolences to Peter and the entire Richmond family.
Dear Peter,
My deepest condolences to you and your family. God Bless.
On behalf of all Biospective staff, we would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the family.
Dear Pat;
Mary and I would like to express our sorrow on hearing that Bob has suddenly passed away. Although our lives took different directions and we rarely saw each other after graduation, Bob, the other co-op students from GM Diesel and our student days at GM Institute often came to mind. It was a real pleasure to renew our acquaintances with you and Bob in recent years at the Phi Kappa Epsilon reunions in Grand Blanc, Michigan.
Bob was highly respected by everyone and he will be sadly missed. For all who knew him, our world has just become noticeably smaller.
Sincerely, Jim and Mary Scranton
I am thinking of you all at this time and am so sorry that I cannot be with you on Thursday.
You, Pat, together with Bob, were always so welcoming and kind to James when he went with Mike and the family to visit you in Montreal. He thoroughly enjoyed his time with you and still remembers them.
My sincere condolences, and deepest sympathies to you for your loss.
DEAR PAT- I WAS SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT BOB. I AM GLAD I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEE BOB AND YOU THESE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS. -JOHN MAHONEY
Please accept our heartfelt condolences for your loss. As husband, father and grandfather he will be sorely missed.
