Just heard from Jim Wright about Bob’s passing. So sorry for his loss. I am a cousin from Nashua, Iowa. I will e-mail the rest of the Farr family with the information. It has been a while since we were all together. Going to miss his big smile. Mary Jean (Good) Parks
Lois,
I’m so sorry to learn of Bob’s passing. You had many happy years with him and please hold the fun times and memories close. He was always so pleasant to be around.
My sympathy,
Annamae Baker
As a child, I can remember going to the Stork farm to pick strawberries. Bob had graciously invited my Grandparents to pick for free. Bob also custom bailed hay at my grandparents farm just East of Sutliff. I remember him driving the bailer, and all of us around the table at lunchtime for my grandmothers Swiss steak. Great memories
The Lloyd Table Company family has your family in our thoughts & prayers. Bob will be missed. We wish you peace during this difficult time.
To Lois and Bob’s Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and we send our sincere sympathy to all of you. May good memories help you through this time and give you strength and courage.

After spending a good amount of time in Robert’s timber cutting firewood, it seemed only fitting to have more trees planted in his honor.
