Memories and Condolences
for Robert Rosecrants

Not sure what to say?





To the Rosecrants family. A heart of gold stopped beating. I will remember Bob for his kindness when I was sick and he would bring me veggie's from his garden and visit for awhile. He said you don't kick a person when they are down, you help to lift them up..thru the rough times. I have known Bob since childhood. He will long be remembered as a kind loving man. Sorry for your loss. R.I.P Bob....

Bob was a friend of mine- I share his dry sense of humor- perhaps even a bit cynical at times, but always good-natured.

Bob was always there to lend a hand, share an idea, and make a suggestion. An all-around handyman with whom I often discussed solutions to fixer-uppers. We worked on quite a few little odds and ends over the years. Bob always had good ideas, very creative, very thoughtful, always considerate of others - he always seemed able to step into the shoes of others and see their viewpoint making Bob always empathetic. A very patient man indeed.

Welcoming, warm, friendly, clever, and interesting - Bob will be sorely missed. Rest in peace, pal, and I'll see you later. Peace out.

My condolences and best wishes to the family. Be well.

As a child Bob, Ed, Dave and I used to spend a lot time riding ponys all over Pulaski township. I have many fond memories. I haven't see Bob in 35 years and always wondered how the brothers were doing. I'm sorry for your loss. He was my childhood hero.

Bob, where could I possibly start. Every crazy thing I've ever thought about doing you where there to lend a hand. All of the countless hours welding and cutting up projects, the days spent enjoying life talking about the rail road and looking for antiques. We never did go fishing like we planned recently but me and the guys (Mike Pluta and Matthew Marshall) will go spend a day wishing you where here with us. We have a lot of unfinished projects, I'll get them finished. Lost but not forgotten, its so hard to say goodbye to your bestfriend but I don't really have to because I know he will always live on through myself and through others. Rest In Peace Bob. We all love you.
