Our prayers are with you at this time of great sadness.
Hi Rathe family,
It is Wednesday night and I just saw the item in the newspaper. I am so sorry for your loss and sorry that I did not know in time to attend the services. I owe many thanks to Sonny and Joan for their seemingly endless supply of sons to work for us at Kolb Marine, Robert, Richard and David. As I recall, when David graduated, there were girls following and Stuart was too young. We always admired the Rathe family for their fine example of how to do it when we were just starting to raise our own families. I know he will still be watching out for all of you. Please accept my best wishes for your family as you travel through this very difficult time.
Peace and love,
Jane Kolb
Joan, My deepest and most sincere sympathy for your loss. You and Bob were always so pleasant and nice to all of us way back when. I could always see the love and closeness you had for each other.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
