Tributes: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tribute from: Kay L. Muehlberger Mr. Williams was a very special Grandpa. I saw him 3 times a week dropping off and picking up Katelyn and Clancy at nursery school. He was a very concerned and involved Grandpa and his grandchildren were very lucky to be his. Carol, Loreen and family will remain in my prayers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tribute from: Michelle Atkins Unfortunately I only got to see Bob a few times a year, pretty much at family functions. His grandkids' birthdays, holidays and such. But every time I would see him he always had a hug for me and kind words and of course a joke of two. I will truly miss his smiling face and great sense of humor at every one of my niece and nephew's birthdays, every Thanksgiving and any other time I fondly think of him. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tribute from: Judy Peterson Carol, Loreen, and Skeeter, So sorry to hear about Bob, your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. I will remember all the good and wonderful memories our families shared together in growing up. My deepest sympathies go out to Carol, Loreen, Skeeter, and grandchildren. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I know no words could help you and your family feel better right now but I wanted you to know I am thinking about you all. And I am so sorry for your loss.
