My memory of Bob will always be the humor and care that he had for us when we got together at holiday parties as children. I was blessed to see him back at Ann Marie's wake in January. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

We'll be at our Church Saturday offering our prayers and love for Bob. I'll never forget how good he was to be there despite his own poor health at Mom's wake just a few months back! He was a truly good and nice man who so loved his wife and boys and his grandson and I know how very much you are all already missing him. You are all in our hearts and prayers. Love, Maggie O'Malley & John & Katie Becker

So sorry to hear of the passing of Bob. Has always been a caring friend of our family. Very easy to talk with and just a very nice man. I'm glad the Good Lord has called him home and his suffering is over and his peace is now eternal. God Bless Ginny and her boys, I pray that they have the strength and fortitude during this very difficult time. Sorry we are not closer, wish we could attend the service this weekend.
