To everyone in the Naber family: It is with heavy heart that our loss of Bob has etched his memories in my heart. Bob was always a quiet guy but I remember all those Dyersville Steffen picnics, softball games at Willenbrings and the park, and times at your home in Masonville. What cherished times! Bob and I had a couple of conversations in the past few months. He talked about how wonderful it was to share our family connection. He had some tough times in his life but told me that he had forgiven himself for those events which created some issues in his life. Bob was a great athlete and to this day he will always be carrying the football for a touchdown on God’s heavenly turf. Hey Bob, I am throwing a pass to you for being part of my life and giving me the opportunity to celebrate you! You will always be etched in my heart. I know that you are running down that field, with God as your quarterback, being able to ascend to the Lord’s team and family You will always be a champion! Love to all of you and my most sincere condolences. Joan Bockenstedt
