It has been many years since I have seen Bob. He could always make me laugh and his genuine spirit is forever instilled on me. The good lord will have a joyous voice in his choir now that resonates beyond the heavens. Rest in peace big man, my thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

I already miss my brother Bobby so much. He was a shining example of an honorable person, with a brilliant sense of humor and a humility and peacefulness that made others feel at ease. I love you Bobby, and will never forget my 'little' brother and the joy you brought to me and to the rest of our family from the day you were born.
Love,
Marie

Tho growing up we lived far away from each other,when we met up at the reunion there was an instant connection. Your smile lit up the room. I don't think I've ever seen so many different floors that weekend as you had me bent over laughing so hard. Golfing greats we weren't but we did have a great time!
Aunt Kathy, Uncle Bob, Marie and Joanie, I know there must be such a void in your life right now. I hope you can feel the love,support and prayers being sent your way by many people who care about you. Love Cousin Maureen

We were always thousands of miles away growing up. We finally spent some time together at the 2006 family reunion and it was like we knew each other our entire lives. You received the Kerrigan gift for humor for sure and made us laugh all weekend! Rest in peace cousin Bobby until we see each other again. Love, Cousin Tommy.

You gave me the two most precious gifts in my life, our children, Christina and Jimmy and for that I will be forever grateful. There is a place in my heart that no one else will ever be able to occupy.
Even after we divorced, you could still make me laugh. I'm so glad that Christina inherited your sense of humor and I'll remember you every time she makes me laugh so hard I can't breathe.
Rest in Peace, Bob. You will be missed.

Bob was one of my closest&dearest friends,since we met when I was 15.We always kept in touch-in fact I don't think I'll ever forget his phone number-memorized years ago..As a friend,I loved him deeply,as a teen,he was my first crush..He was ALWAYS there for me-no matter what,no matter when!Anytime I picked up a phone&heard his deep voice say "Hel-lo!" it made me smile.His talent was beyond measure,as was the generosity of his friendship,and his heart.He is one of the very few that will live in my memory&heart forever.He gave to everyone,loved to distraction his family&kids,and was one of the kindest,big-hearted,compassionate people I've ever had,or ever will have,the privilege to know.To say I will miss him is a huge understatement! My memories of him,or various escapades,school plays,singing together,long talks,and his never-wavering friendship& pep-talks kept me sane through many tough times.The world has lost an angel on earth,and I have lost one more person who always made me feel,and convinced me-that I was worth more than the world ever taught me I could be.There aren't enough tears to ease the loss in my life&heart,and not enough words to say just how good&decent he was.I cry for,&feel deeply for his kids,his sister Joanie,and his ex-wife, Janet-who will all miss him so much more than I,I'm sure.I'll love them all as much as him,and hope the legacy he left us-the goodness of his heart,wit,compassion,and giving nature will always be with us--even if he isn't.He was the glue that held us all together-&I'll always hold tight to each&every memory we shared-as a group,and just he&I as friends.Bob-you were one of a kind,&I hope&pray you'll be watching us all.Sing with the Angels now-we'll be listening...I know you'd tell me not to cry-but know that my tears come from knowing I've lost one of the finest,most decent&generous friends to ever grace my life...I'll miss you til the day I die-&on that day-we'll all join you in singing with the angels,and each other once again..I know you know how much you meant to me for so many years,&I'll always be grateful that God sent you into my life-and that you stayed there til you couldn't anymore-not because you had to...but because you truly were my friend,and a truer one there never was,nor ever will be, again. I never knew a better person,or friend than you.Your laughter,advice,kindness,&compassion eased my pain,filled my heart,and helped restore my faith in humanity,when I was at the lowest point in my life.You were my friend,my first crush,my rescuer at times,and a voice of calm,quiet,serenity in my world of constant turmoil&insanity. There was never a time you were too busy to talk,listen,or be there when I needed a friend.I can't say that about anyone else in my life. You are irreplaceable,unforgettable,and I will miss you every single day of my life..I promise to try to remember the good you taught me about life,and to always be there for Joanie,Janet,&your kids.You made me a better person by being my friend,You led by example,never judged,accepted me for who I am-in spite of my faults&failings,&I can't quite believe you've nothing more to teach me,so I'll always be listening for a deep voice in my heart,and my dreams to comfort,and point the way,on those many times I lose sight of the road ahead,because I know "There Are Holes In The Floor Of Heaven"..so I know you'll be keeping an eye on me,Christina, Jimmy,and Joanie..&we'll keep an eye on each other for you. You were my Guardian Angel on Earth..and I hope,now,in Heaven..I can't bring myself to say 'goodbye''..so I'll just say- Until we meet again,and try to have the unwavering faith in that that you did. You're never going to be gone..so many of us will carry you in our hearts forever. Karrie Aldrich (MMHS Alum,Lakeside,CA)

Even after our divorce, you could still make me laugh. I'm so glad that your sense of humor has been passed down to Christina and I will think of you every time she makes me laugh so hard I can't breathe.
Rest in Peace, Bob. You will be missed.

Bobby was a great Brother, Son, and Father, and Nephew. My life will never be the same without you in it, Bobby. Sing up in heaven with your beautiful voice. I will miss you always. Love, your sister, Joanie

Bob is one of the funniest people I have ever known. He always had a new joke and could find humor in anything. He was a great friend and was kind and gentle to everyone he encountered. I miss him so much. Bob, "you're my boy blue." "Cheers!"
