Alan & I are deeply saddened by the loss of our friend & neighbor Bob Long. We just didn’t get to know him long enough. We will always remember his devotion to his precious wife, Linda, his love for his sweet dogs Bella and Daisy, the enjoyment he got from sitting on his back porch watching the birds & napping, and his enjoyment of my banana bread!😊
Donald and I have such wonderful memories of Bob. Your wonderful back porch and his beautiful butterfly bushes. He was a precious soul and I missed so much. Prayers for all of you.
I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved husband and father. I know you’ll take comfort in your lifetime of memories.
All my love
Jennifer Dougherty Branca.
Linda, we are sorry to hear of the passing of Bob. He was a good friend, a good neighbor, and we will miss him as we know you will. We remember the times that Bob and Phillip used to compete on cutting our yards. They both bought special lawnmowers, which would make our Bermuda grass look better. We remember the times that you, Bob, Phillip and I got together once a week for Mexican food. We remember the stories that Bob told us of his time during the Korean Conflict. Our memories were good memories, and we will miss Bob.
Linda and Belinda, I am deeply sorry for your loss. I did not have the privilege of meeting Bob but from your conversations about how much you loved and cared for him I know he was a good man.
My love and prayers to you and your family,,
Peggy Poole
