“Again Audi, we are so saddened by and sorry for your loss. Bob was such really nice soft-spoken man as well as a Vietnam Veteran. Paula Carey McClure & I got to know him better at our 50 year LHS class re-union at Lake Okoboji in 2014. I remember how you two were kind enough to give our cousin Judy Anderson Stern a ride to and from the reunion along with the bricks she collected from the long gone LHS school building-we still treasure ours. I remember he enjoyed going for walks at different times during the reunion. Rest in Peace Robert Paulin. You are doubtless in a far better place now.💔❤️❤️”
