Dear Thackery Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I'm sure things will be a little rough for a time. I try to look on the bright side of things. Your parents will be together again now. They will celebrate Easter together this year.
I have fond memories of your dad and your house. Their was always so many people around. Your Dad always made me feel welcome and loved to talk. He had an infectious smile.
Once again our deepest sympathies. Love, Paul, Caroline, Sarah and Silas Oltjenbruns

Bob,
I just wanted to let you know the Landis Clan are all thinking of you. Your dad was a nice guy who seemed to love life. We will be praying for all of you.

To the Thackery Family,
Sorry to hear of Bob's passing. He ws always a good friend. I remember all those nights & weekends he drove to Ark City to help my dad on the race car. I also remember those times I rode back to Wichita with him on Sundays. Always arriving in time for Sunday dinner. Rita would set another plate, one more mouth to feed, always felt welcome. God Bless.
