Debbie, Connie and the Devenney family,
I was saddened to read about the passing of Bob. I bumped into him only weeks ago in Dick’s Sporting Goods and we had a nice conversation. Grew up with the family in Grandview Heights and always played sports together at the Sheaffer schoolyard. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Devenney family- I was so sorry to read of Bob’s passing. I knew Bob from CCC, as well as his dad Dick since I grew up at CCC. I last saw him at my sister’s memorial just last July. Not living in Lancaster anymore I always enjoyed running into Bob at CCC when I visited the area or seeing him in Hilton Head. Bob was a kind and caring man and a man you can all be so proud of. May he rest in peace and may the Lord give you comfort at this difficult time.

Linda. I feel your pain. I lost my wife of 54 years 2 & 1/2 years ago. I think of her often. It does get easier with time

Dear Linda and family…there are not enough words to express my sadness over the passing of Bob. He was a true gentleman and kind human being and was truly a “people person”. I am so very sorry for your loss. May you find solace in knowing he was liked by so many and will be missed.
