To the Iverson Family: I was very saddened to read of Bob's death, my condolences to all of the Iverson family. My primary association with Bob was seeing him supporting his two boys as they participated in athletics. His demeanor set the standard for how a parent should support their kids while they participated in sports. His love for them was obvious and Lowell and Dave always reflected this in their personalities and behavior. And long after they finished high school I would see him around town he would always recognize me with a smile and ask how things were going followed up by a report about what the boy's were doing. Bottom line: A great guy who set a high standard and helped create an outstanding family. Sincerely, John Ewing, Former HHS teacher and coachRiver Falls, WI 03/13/2013 11:32 PM
