My heart is full of love and memories of the best Uncle in the world. I can not imagine a better man or a more loving and devoted husband. Our family was blessed to have him in our lives.

Dear Betty and family,
In loving memory I write this. Thanks to Ryane, you and Bob were introduced into my life. It was evident from the beginning how much he adored you. Bob loved all of his family deeply. He was always such a gentleman.
I offer my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Reflect on the good times and all that Bob was to each of you; husband, Dad, PePaw, friend........ such a wonderful man.

Dearest Betty and family,
We are so deeply sorry for your loss. Bob was a wonderful man and had brought nothing but joy to our life. The world is not as smart, not as kind and not as funny without him. He gave of himself constantly and the love he felt for Betty was an inspiration for anyone who has ever been in love. We never thought of him as an 82 year old because he didn't think of himself that way. We thought of him as a wonderful friend and mentor and we are truly sad for ourselves for not having known him longer. Our hearts are with you.
