My sympathy to Bob's family in their profound loss. Since our last names both begin with "G", Bob and I were seated together in home room and other classes at Lincoln High School. I recall his smile and sense of humor, and have fond memories of him.

I was in confirmation class with Bob at Redeemer. My parents, Agusta & Leonard Roehrkasse, and I were friends of the family for as long as I can remember. Bob was a wonderful man and will be missed by all that knew him.
My husband and I send our deepest sympathy to his family.
