Address: ,With deepest sympathy and sadness
Mimi, Chad, Tori, Cindy, Ross, Don, Karen and Candice,
So sorry to hear of Bob’s unexpected passing. Makes me sad. He was a part of my youth as a teenager, and, part of so many things in my adult life. Kings Island, camping at Kentucky Lake(His tent was flooded with rain. We laughed as he wrung out his sleeping bag with his sheepish grin), riding motorcycles. I have a home movie of him singing Mr. Postman, while sitting on top of our Caddy that was being restored. He danced with my girls, Steph and Kelly in our living room in Carmel, IN, singing silly songs. Trips to Saginaw to see the Beckwith family. Boating with Ross and Cindy on the lake.
I will keep you all in my prayers.
Love,
Jan Ragan(Brown-Beyer)
Sending love and prayers to Mimi and her family
Dearest Mimi,
Cindy Dyte forwarded this to me since I am not on Facebook. I was saddened to hear about the loss of your husband. We were Kappa Sisters and roommates and had so many special times. Please know that I am here for you and will be praying for you and your family.
God Bless You and your family,
Louanne Gary
My ‘other brother ‘ Bob will be missed
Mimi, Chad and Tori –
my heart is with all of you. You know how much I loved Bob, and love all of you as well. I met Bob when I was 12 – part of our neighborhood group of kids – and he quickly became like a brother to me. When he introduced me to Mimi – with that special twinkle in his eye – I was thrilled for him to have found his soulmate, yet also thrilled to gain a lifelong sister finally!!
He was a gentle giant, a good Catholic man, a wonderful husband and father, and a true friend who loved deeply.
He will be missed dearly.
Yes, God called another wonderful man home too soon. Take comfort knowing he is with our Lord and his loved ones who went before him. We’ve gained another guardian angel. Hugs to you all.
Mary (St. Amand) Lukins and family
So sorry
I’m so sorry Mimi. I enjoyed the short time we knew you and Bob. Prayers with you and your family.
Remembering…
More than 25 years ago, Mimi, Bob and I lived in an apartment complex In Indpls. We all had dogs and would often be walking our dogs at the same time. Eventually, we introduced ourselves and started hanging out together. Also eventually, Bob asked Mimi out on a date and so it was love?…. I was blessed to attend their beautiful wedding and also have a wild and fun time at Mimi’s bachelorette party!
Mimi and Bob moved from the apartment complex to a suburb north and our lives went different directions . These were fun times we had together! Just a few months ago, Mimi and I met for dinner and renewed our friendship. I’m so sorry that Bob has passed. It’s so very sad…. I’m sending my love and prayers to all of you! I know you all loved Bob so very much. He was such a great guy, a wonderful husband and a loving father. Rest in peace dear friend. You are truly missed❤️

Though I have met Bob I did not really know him. However reading his obituary he sounds much like you, Don. A very sharing, caring and loving man who will be greatly missed by friends and family alike. Jean and I will keep you and your family in our prayers. The Webb’s
