Betty & family, I will be unable to attend Bob's service as I am in Japan with Ash & Risa & my 4 beautiful grandchildren. I would be at his service if I were not away & I have missed seeing him sitting with you each Sunday. I enjoyed reading the obituary in the Aiken paper this am on the website. God bless you & your family. Bob sounded like a remarkable man in his 90 years. Love to you Betty, Bunny Miller
