While I was blessed with the pleasure of meeting Bob my only regret is that I did not get to know and admire him as so many did. Knowing the love and guidance Bob brought to my best friend Melody brings rest to my heart that his suffering here on earth has ended and he is now at peace in heaven. Knowing the love and support Bob brought to the entire Gawron family, to his loving wife Dora, as well as many others will be remembered forever. May your soul rest with God.

Dad - I am having a hard time dealing with the fact you are gone. I know we didn't see each other all the time, but I knew you were always a phone call away... Show me a sign that you are watching over me and you'll push me in the right direction. A kick in the pants would work too.. I LOVE YOU and miss you terribly...

XOXOXOX

I did not have the honor of knowing Bobby personally and I am saddened that he has gone to heaven before I could meet him. I do know the impact his life had on so many others. His great love and generosity of spirit has personally and deeply touched someone who is now my dearest friend. I thank God that Bobby was here for Melody, mentoring her and molding her into the loving, giving person she is today. Melody has the biggest heart of anyone I know and I believe she inherited it from Bobby. Dora, my prayers are with you now that you may find comfort in God’s peace and great joy in the memory of your love with Bobby. The world is enriched because of Bobby’s time here and I look forward to meeting him someday in Paradise.
