Greeting from Jenny Hansen (Bensen) and Kaj Hansen, Tune Denmark
Bob has always been a wonderful friend to me and my family. His love and understanding through my major illness was a God-send! He counseled me through to recovery and for that I will always be grateful. He was a true, loving friend in Christ, and I know that he will continue to be God’s handyman! Please know how very much Bob meant to me and how much I will miss his wonderful advise! Rest in Peace my wonderful friend! Love, Bonnie Romero
