So very sorry for your loss. We would always look forward to visiting with Bob and your mom when they would come up north to visit Becci. He was so funny and such a huge fan of the Packers. So happy we knew him and know he will be missed!

Dear Scholey Family - we extend our deepest sympathy on the loss of your Father. Bob was a wonderful man - so full of fun and humor. George has fond memories of road trips to Packer Games and how much fun it was when Bob went! I remember he was always ready to hear a joke and his smile and kind eyes! May he rest in peace and may your memories be of comfort to you in the coming days and weeks. With sincere condolences and love - Carole and George Serpe

My deepest sympathies to Kris, Scott, and Gary. I can't help but smile when I think back on the memories of your awesome dad. So many fun times as a kid over at your house back in the Wonder Years. Always looked forward to the days he was the carpool driver to Tremper, as we never knew what kind of fancy new Javelin or AMX he'd be showing up in! And always late, so we needed to race! Also recall when the lot moved from 60th St. to S. Sheridan and your dad assigned Bobby and me the job of driving all those shiny new cars from one side of town to the next. Your dad was a big part of my life back then, and I always enjoyed my occasional conversations with him when we'd run into each other in more recent years. BIG personality, and always a kind word and a big smile on his face. He and your beautiful mom are both now reunited with crazy Bobby, who was taken from us way too soon, and it makes me smile to imagine the fun they're having. I'll hoist an adult beverage to all of them tonight and recall the memories. God bless, and I hope you're all doing well. Gregg Guttormsen
