My sympathy on the death of your Dad. I'm not sure your remember me as you were quite young when you left Cedar Rapids. You used to play with my kids, Brian, Joan, Jill and Dean Soppe. Your Dad was much to young to die but hang on to all the good memories. I hadn't talked with him for many many years and have also lost contact with your Mom, Dixie. I would appreciate it if you would give me her e-mail address so I could contact her or a phone #.
ReplyDeleteYou are in my prayers. Joyce Soppe(jsoppe45@msn.com)
My deepest sympathies to the Hawks extended family. I am a friend from Bob's early days in Cedar Rapids, and a long time friend of Linda Hawks Peterson. Bob and I last saw each other at Linda's funeral. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
ReplyDeleteBob was a friend during junior high and senior high school.
ReplyDeleteI remember his as a solid guy who was fast to smile, quick to help and a friend who always had time to say Hi. He was a loyal friend.
I'm sorry to hear of his passing. I know he will be missed.
Bob and I were students together in both junior and senior high schools. I remember his as fast to smile, quick to help and never too busy to say Hi. I'll remember his as a loyal friend.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear of his passing at much too young an age. I know he'll be missed. Prayers out to his family from Plano, Texas.
My deep sympathy for you Bob and family were like family to us during high school years.He was always a tremendous guy,hung out w/my brother worked occasionally at our gas station. Haven't seen him for a long time but want you to know he was one of the best friends we ever had in CR high scool days He was great guy.
ReplyDeleteI was shocked to hear of Bob's passing. Bob and I met while attending tech. school at Sheppard Air Force Base. Being both from Iowa we connected with each other and became good friends and stayed in touch with each other for many years. Eventually our life travels caused us to lose contact. Bob was too young to pass away. I hope your loss can be comforted by celebrating the good times you had together.
