Sheila and I are greatly saddened to hear of Bob's passing. He was the first person I met in Wichita and did a lot of kind things for our family. He even played Santa Claus to Jason and Ethan. Nancy, we grieve with you and with Traci and Robbie. We always enjoyed spending time with the Klems. Stay strong.

Nancy, I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Bob the ten years I was at the Eagle, and I can truly say I enjoyed every day I was with him. He was one on my favorite people. I valued his work ethic and his great sense of humor. I know everyone will miss him, he was Rose Hill's number one cheerleader.

Tracy/Rob, Sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. I will always remember him as one of my favorite little league baseball coaches....Funny to think that we are now about the age he was when he was my coach. He must have had a lot of patients to deal with all of us crazy kids.
