Dear Lori and Family....I only just today became aware of Bob's passing and it is still difficult for me to accept. We missed our annual Christmas luncheon due to weather which I regret now more than before. Bob and I shared many great times while working at Carpenter which I treasure. I will continue to think of him often. Bob

Dear Lori and all of the Rook family,

We are all so very sorry to hear of your loss of such a beautiful husband, father, grandfather and friend. Bob was so very wonderful, always, to all of my family and his deep friendship with my father lasted forever. Besides being unbelievably handsome, Bob was blessed with many gifts which included but certainly are not limited to loyalty, laughter, and love. His ability to tell a story and make you feel special was also incredible. He always seemed to be smiling but then he had so many reasons to smile, his wife, Lori, and his children and his grandchildren made him so very happy. We are terribly sorry for your loss Lori. And for your children and their children's loss. Bob certainly made an indelible imprint on this earth. The world was a better place with him in it. May God help you through this very difficult time and bless you with His peace and love.
Praying for you all, with love and peace Lori Gleason, Michael, Seamus, Claire and Liam
