On behalf of the family of Bob Daniels, I want to express my sincere appreciation for the outpouring of sympathy, condolences, and love from those who came forward after Dad’s passing.

Bob Daniels

We also thank those who have kept him in your thoughts and prayers. As we begin to heal, we thank all of you for respecting our privacy.

In the early hours and days, the grace, generosity, and kindness of Alan Cole, Senior Pastor Joy Barrett, Rev. Tom Macaulay, Max Plank, Kyle Webber, and Craig Common carried us through this difficult time.

We know Dad touched the lives of countless people. As Mom said, “People were his life.”

As we move forward, the family extends an open invitation to a Memorial Service in Dad’s honor on Sunday, Oct. 7th, 2 p.m, at the Chelsea High School Auditorium. Then and there, we can all celebrate a great man who lived his life as life was meant to be lived.

Jeff Daniels, Chelsea
