Even though it's been 20 + years since we hung out, I was saddened to hear that Bob passed away, but he left a mark - and I'll never forget him or his Kate Hepburn imitations.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.
I am going to miss my wonderful friend Bobby. You have been a special friend to me all these years, and your presence will be greatly missed at work and in our lives. Now you are at peace with God in heaven. I still don't like the Red Sox, and I think God told me he likes the Yankees.

I can only imagine how you all must be feeling right now! Bobby fought his illness with strength and grace for so long. I am proud/blessed to have known him and to have counted him as my family. He (you) will always be my family in my heart. Please know that if there is anything at all that I can do, I am here. While his loss is great for those left to mourn, I am glad that he is at peace at last. I know how you all feel about one another and there is no doubt in my mind that you all were there throughout his fight to ease his pain and help him pass onto God knowing he is loved and cherished.
Love

Joellen I was so sadden to hear that Bob lost his battle. He fought it so bravely for so long. Take comfort in knowing that you were his steadfast support and his true love. There are no words to truly comfort you at this time. You have both been through so much. Bob is now truly at peace. No matter how many years have passed since we were last together, I will always consider you and Bob as my family.
Love,

Jo Ellen,
I am so sorry for your loss. I only had the privilege of meeting Bob a few times, but on those occasions I could tell what a special guy he was. I noticed at Tim and Colleen’s parties how everyone seemed to gravitate towards him. He certainly was a source of much fun and happiness in the Thibodeau family and I’m sure will be missed by all.
Your steadfast devotion to him throughout his illness is an inspiration to anyone going through difficult times. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear JoEllen and family,
Many tears were shed this morning and several of us gathered together to pray for you. We're rejoicing that Bob is welcomed home in to the arms of God, but our hearts are aching for the hole he is leaving in your lives. I'm so sorry that you have to face this incredible loss. I'm praying that God will wrap you in His arms.
Love,

I didn't truly know Bob but felt like I had known him for years. His spirit will live on and, someday, you will be together again. He lived as an inspiration to all who knew him. God Bless you and your family.

JoEllen, Hidi, John--my heart is with you. Adequate words do not exist to fully express my sorrow over the loss of Bob. I will remember him always and miss him forever. His courage and optimism will stay with me for the rest of my life, and I'll smile every time I think of him. Twenty-three years wasn't nearly long enough to have Bob for a friend . . . Rest in peace, Poppy. I love you, my "WONDERFUL" friend. See you at "the poo" in heaven. Love, "Flo"
