Missing you Gramps. 9 years is hard to comprehend. I hear your voice, I sense your energy, and I still feel your love. I miss your bear hugs and simple free advice, which always turned out to be right. Until we meet again, love you Gramps. 10/4 sports fan

My grandfather is the man i aspire to be. The best role model of what a man is supposed to be.Loving,caring ,loyal and hard working are just few words i can think of to describe him, but he was so much more than that. There is so much to be said about what he was to his family. Our anchor, our rock, our foundation, our shoulder to lean on. The words "I Love You" never needed said, they were shown. I feel privledged to have had his guidance for 34 years of my life. Its hard to hold back tears when i think of all the life lessons he has taught me. Some by words, but most by actions. Our family is as strong as ever, thanks to grandpas willingness to keep us together. We were always welcome and there was always food on the table. I hope i can portray your faithfulness and integrity to my wife and children as you have done to me. Thank you for your guidance, love and support. One day again I'll be able to hug your neck. I hope your as proud of me as i am of you. I'll always keep your memory alive in my heart and in my children. Until we meet again, I love you.

God truly blessed us with Uncle Bob. A smile that was warm, a laugh that settled deep down in your heart, and a hug that put any bear to shame, are just a few perfect memories interwoven into his life's tapestry that will never ever be forgotten. Aunt Louise, I love you. I pray that you find comfort in knowing the Lord has welcomed him into his eternal kingdom; a place that knows no pain, and a place of everlasting peace.

In faith and love,
Judie (Bodnar) Coe-Wirth

Uncle Bob was also my very sweet Godfather. My brothers and sisters used to fight over Uncle Bob and Aunt Louise because we thought we could pick our own Godparents! Uncle Bob had the kindest eyes and all of my brothers and sisters adored him.Mother Teresa once said - Anyone is capable of going to Heaven. Heaven is our home. Dying is not the end, it is just the beginning.
You are in our hearts forever Uncle Bob.
