My deepest sympathy to Bob’s family. He always greeted my husband and me so warmly each Sunday morning. And we could never say no when he asked us to do the collection. I am grateful that I knew him, I will miss him!

I had the privilege of knowing Bob from Micro Switch and always had a smile and kind word anytime I saw him. He always acknowledged me and others when we were in his presence. God be with you during this time.

Mr. Dreibelbeis was my neighbor when I was about 11 years old (around 1981). I remember this beautiful miniature house/doll house he made. So talented. I never moved from Weaverville, and any time I would see him out he remembered me; always smiling and kind.
