Dear Sandy and family

I’m so sorry about the loss of your husband. I remember you’s coming into our restaurant in Greenview on fish nights. He was a very nice man. We don’t always understand why we have to lose our love ones so young. Sandy, you take care and we will be thinking of you and your family at this time.

Sincerely,

Stephanie (Winter) Coonrod

Thinking of Sandy and Family,

We hope that in this time of sorrow you find strength, comfort and peace. Our memory of Bob will live in our hearts! He will always remember him as a wonderful and kind friend. My Mom and Dad (Patricia and Robert Kuznik) would have wanted Sandy to know that Bob was one of the greatest friend they had ever known. As I knew him (Susan – when I was growing up at home) Bob brought joy on those days he came to visit my dad and us. Dad and Bob would talk about cars and trucks for hours. May those tender memories soften your grief. God will send us hope for tomorrow. Life everlasting.

Sincere Love to Sandy and all her family,

Susan (Kuznik) Capranica, David & Tammy Kuznik, Raynee (Kuznik) Hatfield, Kevin & Kathy Kuznik, Deb (Kuznik) & Herb Hamby, Robert Kuznik, Jr., Vikki (Kuznik) Ramsey
