He was there for the bad times the sad times and the good times.I will remember his laugh and his strong hug and I have no one to replace him. I regret the times that I argued with him over nothing at all and yet i would give anything to argue with him now. Brutus,puppy and pat and the trotter school.mdc swimming and baseball.I miss it all. You were my only brother and I won't ever forget you. You were a true family man and my heartbreaks for Sara and Tim and Ryan and Marshall and mykayla. I love you always ,Janis

"When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure." Someone said that to me when I lost someone, and I think Bob will always be a treasure to all who knew him. You are all in my prayers. You know were I am for anything.
Love, Christy & Family

In death our hearts tell us to be sad and sorrowful because we have lost a loved one, and there is an empty space in our hearts. Our Faith tells us to rejoice because our loved one has been called by God to his eternal reward in heaven. This is the conflict of life and Faith. Rejoice in Faith.
