Dear Paul,
We were so sorry to hear of your loss. We were away on vacation until yesterday, so we were unable to attend the services. We both liked Bobby a lot. He was a kind and gentle man with a great sense of humor. We have many fond memories of our visits with you both over the years. You are both in our thoughts and prayers. Please call if there is anything we can do to help during this difficult time.

I was devastated to hear of Bobs passing. I was just over to his house just last week sitting on the front porch with Bob and Paul, having a few laughs as usual.
Bob was the kindest person I have ever met and a dear friend to me as well. My thoughts and prayers are with Paul and the rest of Bobs family. May he rest in peace.
