Several of Bob's friends have asked me to post my eulogy to him, Thank you all for you words of support.

Bob has been a part of my life for 4 years, 1 year was spent getting to know each other through our mutual interest in the antique business. The 3 remaining years we were involved in a personal relationship as well as partners in business.
We were juggling two business, and trying to create a life together. We were together more than we were alone or with family and friends. Bob was a man I thought I knew inside and out.
In three very short weeks Bob's life changed in a way that you cannot even imagine. He left his home mid morning seeking help again, for his unrelenting pain. This time was different, he was not turned away. This time he was given answers, solutions and hope, only to have them taken away two hours later.
Bob handled his diagnoses of terminal cancer, and the reports that grew bleaker every day with acceptance and dignity. I never saw bitterness, anger, or self pity. I witnessed bravery, and sadness.
I watched Bob sadly accept the fact that he would not be going home again, he would not see his dogs again, he would not sleep in his bed again. I then watched as Bob gave his family and friends a smile, a memory, a loving touch and words of love. Bob was able to give the gifts of his love to his family and friends, in spite of his own fears and needs. He gave of himself to us when we needed it the most.
I am blessed to have been loved by this man, words cannot express the fullness my heart feels when I say his name.
I love you.
Kim

My deepest sympathy to the entire Anderson Family. In this difficult time, remember to treasure the wonderful memories and keep them with you forever.
Thanks Bob for the memories we had together!!
