We are saddened to lose a loyal Ruritan member. Bob has been a Ruritan Member for 40 years. He dedicated his life to helping others and his community. He was a very kind man that was always eager to help.

Bob's memorial will be on Friday, May 15th at 11:00 am at Smithfield Baptist Church. A reception will follow in the Fellowship Hall at the church. A graveside service will be held at 2:00 pm at Woodland UMC in Windsor that afternoon.

Please keep Bob's family in your prayers for comfort in the memories they shared and knowing how many lives he touched.
