Fremont, NE Tuesday, January 8, 2008 So sad that he's gone but also relieved that the suffering is over. Emotions are so mixed during the end times so we need to pray for strength to the living and not worry because we are promised that God will take care of us after death. Bob was an ornery old cuss. Just like brothers Dale & Quentin (my Dad). Hope heaven can handle the brothers all together once again.Don & Laura Cook
