A kind and generous man
May 19, 2020
I
truly felt that I knew Bob even before I met him in person.
Peggy and I became acquainted years ago at a local Curves gym.
As soon as I met her I knew this was someone I wanted to know better.
We met outside of the gym many times over the years, exchanging life experiences and getting closer all of the time...so close in fact that we call each other ‘Sisters of the Heart’ because that is how we feel about each other.
What I noticed more and more in our many conversations was the genuine respect and love she had for her husband.
While Peggy spoke lovingly of all of their children, she also told me about the strength of her husband.
Before the illness really started impacting the quality of his life, I saw how he wanted Peggy to enjoy more good memories.
One of those avenues was to take her on a beautiful cruise to Tahiti. He wanted to see her smile and be pampered—and she was!
It was sad to see Bob begin to fail but even then, he didn't rest until he was sure that Peggy would have everything within his power to enjoy every convenience and comfort he could provide.
The home was fitted with new appliances and brought up to date, not for him, but for the life he wanted Peggy to live after he was no longer here to protect her in person.
It has been a comfort and joy to know this couple.
My friend truly found in Bob, a compassionate and caring man...May he live on in our thoughts and prayers forever.
