Yesterday
My deepest condolences to Jim, Diane, Karen, Jeffery, Matthew, and the entire Ortman family. I´ve been blessed to know your family for more than forty years, and Bob´s passing leaves a space that´s hard to put into words. He walked the path of a true Mason - steadfast in his character, generous with his time, and devoted to the people and communities he loved. We shared not only a bond of friendship, but the timeless ties of the Craft, as did our fathers and grandfathers before us.
May the Great Architect of the Universe grant him rest and grant all of you comfort in the days ahead. Bob´s life was a light to many, and his memory will continue to guide those who had the privilege of traveling life´s journey with him.
With heartfelt sympathy,
David Freeman

I'm shocked and saddened to the core to hear about Bob. He was one of my best friends at Edison High School and we had such a great talk at the 45th EHS class of '79 reunion last year. Salt of the earth, as decent as the day is long. (And even funnier than the day is long, too) Deepest condolences to Karen, Jim, Diane, and his other family members. I had marked the calendar to call Bob on 12/23, his 65th birthday. He is already so missed. Here's a selfie I took with Bob and his sons at the 2024 Labor Day weekend car show. Bob is 2nd from the left. RIP Bob, we all love you!
