Words cannot express my sorry at Bob's passing. He was a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather with a great sense of humor! I will miss him greatly. Nancy, I'm here for ya girlfriend. God is with you ..know that..and that Bob is up there having a great golf game with his friends! Knowing him, he's probably getting a golf course together and the greens ready for play. Blessing to you and your family. Love you girlfriend-I'll be here whenever you need me!

Nancy, Tom and family, We were so saddened and shocked to hear of Bob's death. The Whitten family and the SH Country Club hold a special place in our hearts since that is where we began our relationship 27 years ago, being "set up" on the Monday Night's Couple League. Diane always felt bad that she stole Margaret Teske's partner. We tried to share our love of golf with our boys as they grew up, spending many hours on the course. In earlier years, the boys seemed more interested in playing in the creek on #6 than golfing. As they began to enjoy the game more, Bob was always good to them when they'd come out to play. We will always remember that. We are sorry we are not able to be there for the services for Bob, we are flying to Boston tonight to see our son, Joe. You are and will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. God bless you.

Nancy, I am so sorry to hear of Bob,s passing. I have many happy memories from the Golf Course and the talks just the two of us had. And even after moving to Kentucky, anytime we came back to Michigan I always made it a point to go visit with Bob. Please know you are in our prayers and I am proud to say he was my Friend.

We were shocked to hear of Bob's death.He sure enjoyed the pieroge's that we made for him, hideing them from Nancy. Bob tried to teach me (Frank) to golf, but he didn't work. He will be missed by a lot of friends, me being one of them. Love Frank & Carol Lash

Nancy: My heart goes out to you at this time of your sorrow. I know you will miss Bob very much. We all hope to see him during the resurrection as mentioned by Jesus at John 5:28, 29 where it reads: "...all those in the memorial tombs will hear his (Jesus') voice and come out..." Take care of yourself. Ty Wallace

Nancy, For so many years, Bob and the SH Golf Club have been a part of our lives and our families. For the better part of the last 19 years, we have held our family tournament at SHGC. Each year we looked forward to seeing Bob. He always made us feel welcomed. He contributed in more ways than one to all of our abilities and to our love of the game. He will be sadly missed. The Sylvester Szymczak Open will not be the same without him. Our prayers are with you as you mourn his passing. Sincerely, SS Open Committee (Casey, Allison and all the Kids and Grandkids)

My sympathy goes out to the Whitten family. Bob was such an important part of South Haven's history, and will always hold a special place in my heart. The memories we all shared together will never be forgotten by me.

Dear Nancy..we were so sorry to hear of Bob's death. I have so many good memories growing up of being at the golf club with my folks. Denny and I will always remember fondly our wedding reception there 28 years ago! I know my Dad and Mom had lots of great times there. It was so special when Bob let my brother and I plant some flowers at the golf course when my folks passed away.The memories are all good ones. Take care.

My condolences to the entire family. While I remember Bob I was friends with Donna for our teenage years as our summer cottage was directly behind theirs. Their home was always warm and fun-loving.
