Dear Debbie and to all of Bob's friends,
First and foremost, I am so very sorry at the loss of Bob to this world. I cannot measure the amount of sadness that I feel at this time. He was a generous, kind, caring and giving person - I truly looked to him as my example of the sort of person that this world desperately needs and will sorely miss. He lived life and his joy for live was so much that he allowed all of us to enjoy life as well. As with many great souls in this world, the hole left behind by his passing cannot be filled.

Bob truly made a difference.

My deepest condolences to all who knew him,

Walter & Kim Bradley

Dear Debbie,
I had the privilege of working with Bobby "J" at Investors Group. I have never met a kinder more gentle sole, so full of enthusiasm and generosity ready to help anyone at any time. When ever he spoke of you he lit up. You are very blessed to have experienced a love like his. I will miss him greatly and pray for your friends to comfort you, faith to uphold you and loving memories to help you smile again.
With sincerest sympathy,
Karie Gallagher
