Dear Family & Friends,
I was saddened to learn of Bob's passing. He was a great guy and a good friend to many. He and my Dad were buddies. Bob was a "go to guy" and an expert on most all of the products Capital City Industrial Supply handled. I remember the good times going to lunch and his funny stories. I don't ever recall him as being anything but kind to others and always cheerful.
My best to all,
Sincerely,
J. Brown Harris

So sorry to hear about Uncle Bob. It had been a while since we had seen or talked to him but thought of him often, especially at holidays and family events. The years are passing so quickly and many of those we love are passing on. Please know that our prayers are with you at this time and that our family will visit the grave sight often as we go to visit our Dad.

Please be assured God cares for those who have passed away. He keeps them in His memory because they are precious in His eyes ( Psalms 116:15 )
