Uncle Bob, you were a great person and a wonderful Godfather to my two sisters and myself. I am grateful you were a part of my life growing up as a child.

I am glad I was able to see you at my sisters wedding back in 2007. In loving memory of a wonderful person. You are loved and will be missed. Rest in Peace.

Bob,
you were an amazing friend & neighbor for over 20 years and I can't believe your gone. There's going to be a huge piece missing not only in our neighborhood but our heart as well. You were the best crossword puzzle partner ever. God bless you. With all my love Sara Dee
