Our Uncle Bob, what a perfect example to all of us what a son, husband, father, brother, grandfather, friend and uncle should be be like. Nobody did it better. What a wonderful world this would be be if everyone else had 1/2 the character, integrity and devotion to his family our Uncle Bob had. His final reward is now he gets those 50 yard line seats at every Bills game, home and away, whenever he wants them. Enjoy.
