Dear Sue, I read the obit in the Rochester paper. I am Donna Provenzano Warner. My Mother was Barbara Hetzler and her Mother was Florence Wood Hetzler. Grandma had a sister by the name of Verne. I am wondering if this is her son. They lived in Hilton, NY. My Sympathy to you and the family, whether we are related or not.

Dear Mom,
I am so sorry for your loss. Bob and you are like my second parents. I wish I could have been there for the funeral like I was at all of the other important family events. I know Terri thought of Bob as more than her stepdad because he was such a special man in her life as he was to anyone else who knew him. Disney will certainly miss his smiling and sunny personality, I know I will. I am keeping you in my thoughts at this difficult time. My family sends all of our love.

Bob, was a co-worker and compassionate friend. We trained together in Security and worked together for over 5 yrs. He was an unselfish man, and a loyal friend and his concern for others was genuine. He supported me throughout my husband's battle with cancer and prayed with me when I was too upset to find the words. He ALWAYS encouraged us both to hold on to hope, to never give up and he inquired about my husband daily. Mostly, I will remember his smile, his quick wit and his mischievious laughter! We were blessed by the joy of his friendship! We will continue to keep Bob's loved ones in our prayers for comfort.

To the family of my very special Uncle. I will miss him dearly and wish that I could have spent more time with him even though we did share cherished times growing up, it never is enough time!! My memories will stay with me forever and ever. I love Uncle Bob dearly and will miss him. My deepest sympathy goes out to all family and friends who feel the sorrow that I feel. I only wish that I could be there to support our family and friends, but my heart is with everyone!!

To Bob's family, he was a good working buddy allways being servisable and solving problems in his own way. At times he was a little hard head but that did not bother me one bit, great guy, I will miss him a great deal.

Bob will always be my best friend. I worked with him at the Studios and we became very close. I will never forget going to Fantasy of Flight with him. He loved airplanes. He was a great man and I will miss him.

Words are never good enough to express who we are and the impact we can have on each other during this journey called life. Bob had impact. He was a channel for life that is rare to witness.

We are here for you, Suzzanne. We love you.

To Suzzanne: I know you probably think that I have forgotten you all but not a day goes by that I don't think of you. You and Bob are like my second parents who always looked after me and encouraged me. Even the last time I was able to pleasantly bump into you 2 at Animal Kingdom, Bob was encouraging me to do more artistic things and reminding me of all of the little art pieces you both had around your house, just like any good parents would of their children.
Bob was always so upbeat and friendly.
My thoughts are with you Suzzanne and your family. I am sure that Bear was very happy to see his daddy and probably was the first to welcome him back Home.

I love you both very much, and hope to hear from you when you are feeling up to it,

Aimee Carpenter
P.S. guestbook did not recognize the city I am in, Greenback, TN. I guess they don't realize that some people are so special that they have people who love them all over.

Bob will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. He was a good husband, father and friend, and we will always remember Bob with a smile.

To Suzzanne, Terri & Robby, may your memories comfort and sustain you during this difficult time. We will always have a special place for Bob in our hearts. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
