Condolences

To Bob's family: Our prayers are with you at this time of sorrow.

I worked with Bob at Synoptic Systems and was his team member on many of the trips that he made in DS4. I will miss him and the fun and teaching that I received from Bob.

God Bless,
Bill and Sue Ashburn

To the Thrower family:
I'm certain that many of Bob's old friends from Synoptic Systems Corporation have expressed their sorrow and condolences for your loss. I'll remember Bob for his sense of humor and his ability to make and keep friends. We'll all miss him.

To the family of Bob Thrower. I hope this is the Bob Thrower who worked for Wickes Lumber.
My sincere regrets. My time working with Bob was some of the most fun in my life. I loved Bob's sense of humor. When he answered the phone his greeting "It's your nickel" showed how he was always on his toes. I often wondered what he did after Wickes closed up. I guess he got a job with the government.
Anyway because I am located in WV building homes I will be unable to attend his services. But my thoughts will be with you and about Bob.

Sincerely,

Ron Reese
