Marianna - Just got the news of Bob's passing. I was not only shocked, but saddened. Since he was only 6 years older than me, he was still "young". He was always a bigger than life personality that touched so many. I am so sorry for your loss because I know you had a wonderful marriage.

Your laughter and your colorful socks will always be remembered! Many members of the BCLNA have had great memories of the times you headed north. You will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. He always brightened my day when he came to call when I worked in the horticulture industry. He will be greatly missed.

Bob was a fantastic, artistic, creative, successful man who made life so very happy for our cousin Marianna. We will miss him so very much at our cousin get-togethers. And we will think of him every time we see his beautiful glass vase with a flower in it. We are glad he is no longer in pain and enjoying a beautiful heaven with his daughter, mom and dad and kitties.
Love from the Bonlie girls.

Marianna,
I was so shocked to read of Bob's passing. My heart goes out to you and all your family.
I will always remember both of you during my years in La Conner, particularly when you invited me into your homes to help you pick out the framing materials for your beautiful art collection which I had the pleasure of framing for you.
After re-marrying in 1990 I sold my business (Van Go Custom Framing) and retired to Arizona. I was so glad to find you again at the Samish Island Arts & Crafts show a couple summers ago, and was able to buy one of Bob's fused glass pieces. I will cherish it forever.
And what a beautiful obituary you wrote for him. Your love for each other was very evident in everything that you did. You were so blessed to have such a wonderful husband and friend.
I will be back in Skagit County again this summer and hope to see you again.
God Bless,

Bob, You will be missed. Thank you for all of the good times and laughter you always provided. You also were a good coach you taught me many things over the years. You may be gone but you will never be forgotten.

In life's passage, you meet a few characters that make a huge impression. Bob was on of those very few and we are delighted to call him a friend. We wish you all the best Marianna. Cherish those memories.
