It is with deep sadness that I announce that my priest-brother, and friend, Fr. Bob, has returned to God this morning. He was a great help to us at The Church of Epiphany and he will be missed.
I am grateful for the time we were able to serve together and the many conversations and laughter we shared with one another. He was a great source of encouragement to me as pastor (even though he loved to tell me "not having to deal with 'x' was one of the best things about being retired").
I am confident Christ has welcomed him into our Father's house with the words "Well done, good and faithful servant." May he now enjoy the perfect and unconditional love of God which he daily strove to share with others.
May you rest in peace my brother.
