Please accept our deepest belated sympathy. We will miss that smile and laugh many have known so well of Bob. It was a joy having shared experiences over the years with your family as our children grew into adults. Our thoughts and prayers are with you always.

Ken and I are so sorry to hear about Bob's passing. We have many happy memories of Bob, playing darts at the Fone Booth, his never ending smiles, his jokes, his caring ways. He was truly a remarkable person and will be greatly missed. Bless your family and our deepest sympathy to all of you.

Jimmy VanTassel called me with the news of Bobby's passing last week. I am truly saddened. It was more than 20 years ago I said "so long" to Bobby after spending over 10 years working with him at Accurate. Back then not a day went by without the office sharing his lightheartedness through a joke...usually resulting in hearing his contagious laughter. I have often reflected on those times and think of them fondly.

May you rest in peace Bobby, and may those that shared your life be comforted in knowing that you will remain in their hearts and spirits forever.

We're finding it hard to believe that
Bob has left us so soon. He was like
a brother to me for many years, and
provided me with countless hours of
smiles and laughter. Doreen and I
will miss him very much. God bless
you and all the Geddis family.

Dolores - I am Shirley, Pam Byrnes' sister. I am so sorry for your loss. I never knew your husband well, but I know he was a good man and a very well-liked person. I lost my sister Pam to cancer just this past January, so I am no stranger to grief. God be with you and your family.

Bob will always be fondly remembered. His funny smile, his morning jokes, his remarkable personality, his friendly jestures and close friendship made him a remarkable person. He made his mark here on earth. Rest in piece my friend.
