So sorry to learn of the loss of my very good friend Bob Izer. Bob was there months older than I, and we grew up together at First Christian Church, Mansfield, OH. We spent all our time side by side, from our youth choir, youth activities, Sunday school classes, travel to youth activities in near by towns to summer camp. We did everything together. Bob was the greatest of friends and I have a many wonderful memories. Bob, Carol, and I were in the same graduation classic 1959. What a great couple Bob and Carol made and they loved each other for life. My condolences to Carol, son Jim and his wife, daughter Kim and her husband, and Bob's brother Emmett. I will never forget you Bob, and one day we will visit together with our heavenly father. Rest in piece till we meet again.

I grew up in FCC in Mansfield and knew Bob since we were ornery little kids.Our youth groups had so much fun together. I'm so glad I was able to enjoy a visit with Bob and Carol when they were here a few years ago. My sympathy goes out to all the family. I know you will miss your husband, father and grandfather very much. May God be with you in your time of grief.Carol Lautzenhiser ReedMansfield, Ohio
