    Dear Zeller Family, please accept my deepest sympathies in the passing of your dear husband, father & grandfather. I worked for Bob for 5 yrs at Zeller Electric, he was the best boss I ever had. His kindness & understanding always made me feel so lucky & astonished me in those not so great situations. I moved to Southern Missouri & Bob always told me he would stop in if he was fishing a stream in my area, I’m sorry I’ve missed that chance. You all will be in my prayers & I hope knowing Bob was loved by so many offers you comfort & strength during this difficult period.

    My sincere sympathy for the loss of a wonderful man. I only saw someone who was kind and gentle and so very nice to be around. Love to all of you from your family in Colorado.

    Dear Jackie, he was a good,good man. I am sure he and Bob are playing gin in Heaven and reminiscing about all the good times they had in D XI K. Peace be with you and yours. Love Kay
