It was an honor to know Bob, as a brave, wonderful, and kind person. He faced every new challenge with the attitude that it was an "adventure", and he was up for it. I think we can all learn by his positive approach to life, in helping us get through difficult times. My condolences to his family and close friends who are mourning the loss of this great human being.

To my Uncle Bob - you made your mark in this world - a path for others to follow. You will be missed by so many. All my love to my cousins and their families and a special squeeze for my Auntie Mare who remained his wingman until the end.

Bob was a wonderful man. He always said his favorite song was "I Did My Way" I will miss our conversations on the phone and seeing him once a year. May he rest in peace.
