Your loving sister, and your brother in law,

Diane, Chuckie, Jeff, Tracee, and your families,
There are no words to say how sad I am for you all. It's been so many years since I've seen you all but I can still hear Bob's laugh in my head. How he would tease us about our "Southern" twang and I can picture the "adults" at Mom's dining room table telling us kids to get. Please know that our prayers are with you all and that Bob is with you with angel wings all the time. I wish we could be with you to help with the day to day to get you through this sadness. We love ya!

I truely admire that, and hope to some day be able to fill your shoes as you have. I will always be here for your family as you have done in the past. I will support them as you have, no worries.
"You will be greatly missed"

Dad, it has been one week today and I am finally sitting down to take a moment. From your passing til today, and as I read over all of the messages of support I realize that you were a truly loved and respected man, by so many. People from as close as your roommate in the hospital to people as far away as across the country. As things are beginning to quiet down, I think that the reality of your physical presence no longer being here is finally hitting me and I am truly heart-sick. You were my guy, you made me feel safe and secure just knowing that you were only a phone call away. I knew that if my heat went out or I had no hot water you would be right over to fix it and if I were lost somewhere in Massachusetts you would guide me home safely. You taught me so many things; things that I will carry with me always. Much of who I am today you are solely responsible for and I am so proud of that. I embrace all of you in me; all of the tools that you gave me to make me a strong and independant woman...probably so I wouldn't call you so much!...but more so that I could carry on and be okay, I am so grateful for. I am grateful for you, I am grateful for the wonderful family life that you and Mom provided for us as kids and beyond. I am grateful for the love that we all shared. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to be your Daughter. I am grateful for you and I am so so proud of you as a Husband to Mom, a Father to us kids and a Papa to my girls. Your traditions will carry on and our memories together will be cherished. I love you to bits, Dad. And I miss you immensely. Please watch over us and keep us safe...and if I happen to be driving around aimlessly in some other state somewhere, please be there to guide me and help me get home. With Deep Deep Sadness and Great Great Love, Your Daughter, Tracee
PS "Goodnight, don't let the bed bugs bite." Rest in peace, Dad.

Tracee and family,

It is with sadness that i came across this in the paper. Your father was always such a funny guy that i remember from my childhood. While I bump into you from time to time Tracee you are never far from my thoughts. At this time may you and your family be comforted with many great memories of a truly great man.

Dear Diane, I send to you my condolelnces on the passing of Robert. I grew up with Roberts, sister Judy and Robert in the South End. My mom was best friends with Rita & Sunshine Bob's mom and Dad and especially his grandmother and grandfather Mr. & Mrs Durant. I often times think of many people that I grew up with and often wish we could see each other again. Please say hello to Judy for me. May the days be brighter soon for you and your family and my prayers and sympathy are with you and your family.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I was so sorry to open the paper today & to see the notice of Bobs passing. My husband was Bobs roomate in Albay Med.-we left the day before Thanksgiving. My husband Ernie was giving you info. on hospice the day before we left. We really enjoyed your family. Bob was such a kind man. He never complained about anything, although we knew that he was in pain. We truly we fond of him. My husband Ernie lost his battle with pancreatic cancer on 12/1 & we buried him yesterday. Two good men. Again, my family & I are so sorry for your loss.
