Offer Condolence for the family of Robert “Bob” James Kaiser
We will cherish our memories of this kind and gentle man, compassionate and charitable to others and quick to share his wonderful sense of humor with everyone. We miss you already Bob, and will remember you always!
My sincerest condolences to all the family and friends of Mr. Kaiser. I am a member of Unity Lutheran Church, and met Mr. Kaiser there. I did not know him well. However, everyone there liked him very much, including myself. He was always polite and a real gentleman. I was sorry to hear of his passing. My prayers are with him and may he rest in peace.
Being the engineer for Bobs Dept. at the Hawthorne Works and Pres. of the Travel Club I always enjoyed working with Bob a great guy. He will be missed.
Our condolences to Bob’s family. He was a true gentleman and a man of honor. I was the Pioneer Administrator for the Hawthorne Chapter of the Pioneers and Bob was a great officer of the club and as a volunteer he made a difference to many he served. He truly will be honored for his heart felt labors in this world. I just found out and know that we will meet again in the life beyond this one. To his family peace be with you.
