Our sympathies to Bobby's entire family. We were a customer of his and enjoyed him immensely. Loved his down-to-earth attitude and always told you things as it was. He always did more than a good job and we recommended him to others.
I always noticed that when he talked about his wife and children/ grandchildren, you could just see his face light up. We looked forward to seeing him everyday because he always found a way to bring a smile to our faces. He will be missed.
His name will always be underneath our siding where I had written it along with his son-in-law and date they did our house before he covered it up.
Take care,
Rhonda Proulx and Bob Neilson

To the family of "Bobby B" our deepest sympathies. He was one of a kind, and will be missed but never forgotten. He's probably building another wing in heaven right now. Thanks for all your hard work over the years Bobby/Manny, you never said no to my family.

"We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly; in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you; you did not go alone; for part of us went with you that day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories; your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always by our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
Love Karen

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.

Dear Auntie Pat, Karen, & Chris,
His memory lingers on
Because you loved him so
And because of this
Those memories will never go.
The love that was his alone
Will always be in your heart
Because in your life
He was an important part.
I'm so sorry for all the grief you're going through but remember, please don't hesitate to call if you need anything, I'm here for all of you.
Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.
Love you always,
Darlene
