This has been a very difficult year Pops. our world has been infected with such hate, disobedience, and lack of community, democracy, and compassion to work together. The reality appointed president that is leaving behind a huge MESS to clean up.
Thankfully there is HOPE for 2021.
Love and miss you dearly. Maybe next year I’ll have a better outcome.
Your eldest Granddaughter ❤

Missed you Pops this year at Rick and Kathy's new home in Fallbrook. You would have loved their new home. The family tradition is being kept alive just as you would have wanted. We share memories about you and Ma, sometimes with tears and most of the time with laughter. It's been four years now since your passing on Christmas Eve. I know you are at peace now in heaven now that you are with Ma. I wish you would have been able to know the love that I have in my life these past few years. Madison has grown to be a strong, beautiful, caring young lady, and has a loving partner in Abby. I've found my soul mate Rick and you both would have loved him, he will be my future husband. He reminds me a lot of you Ma. Miss you both dearly….Love your Granddaughter, Stephanie

What a good man. Bob showed in his face how much he loved his wife and children. I admired it for years. Bob and Pat welcomed me into their family first day Steve introduced me . Wow that was my first love for them, they loved me and I was so blessed to have Ma she was an angle heart. Ma loved her family and spread her wings around all of them. Ma was a caregiver and would never top taken care of all her babies. Bob with his laugh and support of his wife was priceless. I loved them both deeply and Charisse them in my thoughts every day. I know my Steve mourned hard for them both. Love always to our Fassel family.

Pop - You are one of the greatest men that I have had in my life. I truly miss our visits and when I reflect, it brings back great memories. We spent many beautiful days driving around, sight-seeing and reminiscing about your life experiences. I have many fond memories of sleepovers when you made us corned beef & cabbage and stocked up on black cherry or rainbow sherbet ice cream for me. When I think of you Pop, it brings me smiles. I am grateful for the years that I got to spend with you and know how lucky that I am to have had the times that we did. I miss you and am relieved that you are at peace with Ma, Great Grandma and Grandpa. There is no one like my Popa. Much love!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I grew up across the street from the Fassel's many many years ago in Cypress CA. I spent alot of time with Bob's grandchildren Stephanie & Sam. I remember Pat (Ma) taking us to the beach or to her friends house to go swimming. Those are wonderful memories I will never forget.
My heart goes out to the entire family. Bob was a wonderful person and a great neighbor. May he rest in peace.

I've known the Fassel family for almost 18 years...Bob was truely one of a kind...I used to listen to him tell me stories about Pat, he loved her deeply and missed her..I cried when Rick told me his mother got her Christmas gift, but it was true and I know he is in a much better place now, and happy to be with her once again. I will personally miss his big smile... RIP Bob....Nancy Manning

I never knew Bob but I did know Debbie. Debbie I know your dad would have felt successful and competent had he seen you carry yourself at work. He would have been very proud and satisfied that he had done a good job and could rest easy knowing that his daughter had made such a healthy and lasting impact on her world. You are missed here at Valencia High School and you are celebrated in the silent ripples of the student and staff lives you touched. Your friend Greg

I know how much Denise loved her pa... My heart goes out to all Bob's offspring. I always told Dennie that he was so fortunate to have such loving and caring children. He musta been something else! It's tough to loose someone so dear at Christmas time, but, like Dennie said, "Mom loved Christmas so much, she wanted him with her." God Bless you Bob...I guess He already has <3 Love ~Rhiannon

Dad you were the best Dad any kid could ask for, a Dad who was always there and would give you the shirt off his back if you asked for it. I know you are at peace now, and mom probably said, "Fassel what the Hell took you so long". When you left us the tears flowed, but the comfort of knowing that you were taken at a special time of year proves that you were an ANGEL. My memories of you will be precious and never forgotten. Miss you Dad and Love You always. Debbie

Dearest Stephanie, Denise, Samantha, Shawna, Madison and Edward, I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad/Grandpa. I know you made Pops so proud of you, and he loved you very much. You were all such inspirations for him, and he was proud and lucky to have your love and devotion and care, even after your beautiful Mom/Grandma passed away. I wish I was there to give you all hugs. He and your Grandma are now two Angels, looking after you from Heaven, so please don't think he's too far away from you now. I know it may take many years, before the tears slow, and the pain is lessoned, but please accept my deepest sympathy and know it's true that the love you gave your Grandpa is alive in his heart forever. You were all so giving and loving, and he took that with him to Heaven. Love and truest sympathy to you and your wonderful family. I love and miss you, and wish you peace in your heart someday...Love, Ali and Blaire and Family XOXO

I am very blessed to have known my grandfather for all these years. As a child, grandpa was "papa" and then as I became an adult "pops" was adopted. He was a strong silent type and loved everyone who was in his life unconditionally. He will be dearly missed, but in a better place. I am so happy that Pops and Ma are now together for eternal life together. Love you very much Pops. Please tell Ma how much we've all missed her! Stephanie
