Bob will surely be missed. As a B.O.B. and friend, a great Chief to work under at the C.F.D., may he rest in God's hands. Our prayers are with your wife Naile and your family.
Mrs Hoehn, Berna Peter Gaul, grandchildren and Suzan, I am so sorry for your lose. My aunt read the obituary of Mr. Hoehn last night and called me. Many years have passed, but my aunt Elaine and uncle Mala remembered you Suzan, and they too, wanted to give their condolences. Our prayers and thoughts go out to the family in this time of need.
To Naile, Sue, Berna and Family. When I was very young I thought Bob was a giant. A giant with a great smile and a contagious laugh. It was easy to see why my Dad considered Bob to be one of his best friends. He thought the world of Bob. I have great memories of Truck 28 stories and all of the parties we were all together for and I hope that your memories will help you through this very sad time. My heartfelt sympathies to all of you.
