Bob Church Passes at 61
Bob Church, the father of my girlfriend Kristin, passed away this afternoon at the age of 61. For the last 10 months Bob has been in a long and trying fight with cancer. I’ve written a decent bit here and there about the history of this here and you can find it by following my tag link for him to the left. He went peacefully while surrounded by family and close friends.
Among his dying wishes was the request that he be cremated and instead of having a formal memorial service, those who knew him should join together for a sort of commemorative party/get-together. That event will be this Saturday. So if you knew Bob and have a way of getting to Topeka, you are invited to come and celebrate Bobs life and the memories he has left with us all.

Hey Dave,
Deepest condolences to the whole family. I want to thank you again for the videos you put here for us to enjoy. I’ve just been looking at them again. Will be thinking of you all this weekend as you celebrate Bob’s eventful life. Much love to you all.
Sincerely,
Nan

Dave,
Please know that I will be with you all in spirit on Saturday. Bob will be missed so much, but his spirit of fun and helpfulness continues to live on in all of us. He helped me edit my writing so much. I’ll never forget that. Plus he was just a heckuva lotta fun. Sometimes the emails he would forward laid me out on the floor laughing. They were outrageous! Ah well. I’ll be thinking of you all and him on Saturday. Love, JO

Hi Dave,
I just wanted to send my condolences to you and Kristin as well as the rest of the family. I will be there in spirit and a part of Bob will be with me forever. He was a very special person and I doubt very much that any of us will ever forget him.
Love to all,
Shirley
