He made us laugh,
He made me smile
He had a bluff,
Straight-forward style.
A friendly neighbor
Known for years
The smiles will far
Outlast the tears.

I just wanted to say that Bob was a wonderful person. Growing up, Bob was dating my Grandmother Nancy and I have nothing but fond memories of him. As an adult I look back and wish he was my grandfather, as he holds that place in my heart. Bob will be missed.
