[Tall-Corn] [DSM-Iowa] Passing of Bob Ray

[Julie McCullough]

While I haven't known Bob nearly as long as many of you have, when I was privileged to get to talk to him, he made me feel as if he had known me all his life. His combination of humor, legislative knowledge and political wisdom put me at ease, even with the most ignorant questions or concerns I might have raised. I always felt honored and privileged when I got a chance to talk to him. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Cindy and with the family and with all whose lives Bob has touched, helped and influenced. May God's comfort and peace be with you, Cindy and with us all.

Sincerely,

Julie McCullough

I am very sorry to hear this sad news. I have known Bob since the 60s. He
was an Iowa treasure to be sure. We will all miss him very much. Prayers
for Bob and Cindy and their family.
