    Having known Bob for many years it saddens my heart to hear news of his passing. He was a faithful Christian man, steadfast in his convictions, true to the Word of God and greatly admired by fellow believers. He will be truely missed in this world and we rejoice in his homecoming with the Lord. May his family be comforted in this knowledge and know my heart goes out to you and am praying for your comfort.

    Bob Sutter was my cousin who helped me through some of my teenage years. Always a servant of the Lord, I know he’s enjoying the grand reunion with Jesus, friends, family, and those heroes of the Bible he read about. Your family is in my prayers.

    So sad to hear about Bob’s passing. Bob led me to the Lord in 1974. I’ve searched for Bob online many times over the years, Our belated condolences to his family and loved ones from Pat and I. Pat came to the Lord the same day after I repeated Paul’s gospel of Grace as presented to me by Bob. Looking forward to seeing Bob again one day.
