My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I loved your Mom and Dad very much. This the end of an era. I leaned on your Dad for support and advice on how to handle Nick after Mom passed away. He was always there for me when I need to talk. Your Dad will be truly missed. I know they are having happy hour once again. Love, Virginia
Chuck, Reed and all the Family: I don’t know where to begin- my heart is broken. As Virginia said, I loved your Mom & Dad. Very much. I always knew who I could turn to for help, advice or just an ear to listen. I could never express all that I’m feeling here, now, so please know that you have my deepest sympathies, I’m here if you want to talk, and know that he’s now without pain and with the people he loved and who loved him. God Bless him forever.
Chuck and Family, We are saddened to hear of your Father’s passing. Prayers and sympathy go out to all of you. Cheryl & Mike Hoover and Family
What a great looking Marine! A WWII Poster Boy–and I know he carried that esprit and bearing throughout his life. We thank him for his service to our Nation ,caring for his family, and contributing to the good of society all his life. You have every right to be very proud of him. I extend my sincere sympathies to all his family. He may have to “straighten” his cover just a tad when he reports in to “Guard Heaven’s Scene’s.: Semper Fidelis.
We were so sorry to hear about your dad. I loved him and your Mom so much. I wish I had more time with them. Whenever I came to visit, you all made me feel so at home. I am sorry for your loss. I wish I could have been there today to remember Uncle Bob with you but unfortunately, I had staffing issues that kept me from coming. Love, Terry, Sarah and Frank Marsh
The entire Comley family send our condolences to Bobby’s wonderful family. He will truly be missed. Dad (George Comley) myself and sister June would see Bobby on Friday or Saturday nights having dinner at the Diner in King George. We all appreciate the love and help Bobby gave to each of us with the passing of mom (Grace Comley). June Utterback (Sister of George) enjoyed the time they spent together at Dads while taking care of mom. June kept in touch with Bobby via phone weekly from Vermont and will miss there closeness. God Bless the entire Wilson family in this, your time of grief.
