He loved to make fun of my unique high pitch "hiccups". After he had his abdominal surgery, he then had the same high pitch "hiccups" too. He blamed me! He said he was having "pity" / "sympathy" hiccups.
Bob had a great sense of humor.

So glad I was a part of his life; and he was a part of mine. Miss his smile, his voice, his hugs...

Bob,

You were my favorite "quacker" and matching "hiccupper".

You guided your wife and family thru life with integrity, honor and most of all, LOVE.

I feel/believe you were a "MAN" among men, and an inspiration to everyone you came in contact with. You were a great friend to one and all!

As a tribute to you, we plan to make a toast in honor at the next Sunday Nite bowling league session.

Wishing peace, comfort and love to Shirley, Dawn, Bobby, Michael and their families. May your love for them continue to felt during the challenging days ahead. May your angel wings hold them tightly, whenever they feel sad or alone.

God blessed this earth with you!

With a heavy heart, I wish ado; until we meet again.

Cindy Walden (and Cecil too)
