Dear Barbara & Family,
With a heavy heart, I extend my sincere and heartfelt condolences to you all, Bob was a special man who touched many lives and will be missed. I pray that God will provide His loving care and peace for your hearts in the days ahead.
I worked closely with Bob 1975-1977 as asst. to the bank president Lou Langie. Only 14 years my senior, Bob was an approachable younger senior vice president in his late 30’s. With wisdom far beyond his years, he was a mentor, big brother and friend to me at the bank. Always soft spoken with a cam demeanor Bob’s door was always open to anyone.
Bob worked very hard, was always prepared and had the pulse on every department in his division. I observed his management style at close range and he was a real human being who was valued and was committed to the employees that reported to him. Their loyalty was a testament to his genuine care for them.
Bob also had a good sense of humor, during winter snow blizzards; he occasionally offered me rides on his way home. While driving he would jokingly tell me that he only offered me a ride because he wanted a 6’2” strong guy with him in case his car got stuck in the snow.
May our warm memory of Bob’s life of service to others glow in our hearts.
Sincerely,
Bill Stephany
