Dear Aunt Marie, Cousins Bobby,Peggy, David, Barry, Chris, Sheila, Jennine, Mike, and Shaun and families-

Uncle Bob is such an amazing person and has touched the lives of so many people. I will always remember his warm smile and the gift of making everyone always feel welcome to every social occasion.
I am very thankful for all the wonderful trips we took together via train to Boston, NYC, and Las Vegas with Mike and Shaun.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Knowing Uncle Bob, he was welcomed into heaven with open arms by many family and friends.

Love You All!

Dear Mrs. Busk and Peggy & Dick,
So sorry to hear of Mr. Busk's passing. He always had a smile and remembered me....eventhough years past in between seeing each other. He would always make you laugh too, even the last time I saw him at the nursing home. He is in a better place and at peace now. We are the ones which must move on. After losing my Mother and Brother this year, I can say from experience that it will not be easy, but take one day at a time and know that others are with you. Our deepest sympathy to you and your entire family..
