August 18, 2023

it is the 10 th anniversary since my brother bob passed. my wife sharon marie and myself remember him as a kind loving and generous person. we remember his love for corona beer and cigars and he always loved a good time. he truly made us laugh and had a heart of gold. he was my kid brother and always very happy to see us. i miss my little brother to this day and think of all the memories that i will never forget. my only regret is he left too soon and we did not see more of each other. and so it goes...you are at peace with christ. miss you...love you always brother don and sharon marie and nephews keith and johnny miklas

Dear Sharon & family
I'm so very sorry to hear that Bob passed away.
I knew Bob from my early teenage years living in the projects back in the mid 60s.. He was a great guy with a great sense of humor.
It was very nice to have been able to see Bob a couple of times over the years at a couple of the project reunions at Chestnut Ridge Park.
He will be missed.
May peace be with you all.
