Bob's family would like to thank the many doctors and nurses at Aurora Medical Center I C U for all of their compassionate care during this very difficult time and for all the love and support we have received from everyone who has kept us in their thoughts and prayers.
He will be remembered for making people laugh with his quick wit, giving treats to neighborhood dogs, keeping the birds well fed and his love for life. We know you're watching over us. Keep'em laughing as you have done for us. We will love you and miss you forever.
