Dad,
Even though you've gone to a better place.
I can't stop the tears from coming down my face.
I know in time my heart will heal.
For you left me with the strength to deal.
The day you left I could see
An angel came down to set you free.
No more pain no more pills
Just the happiness of your own free will.
Dad,I will treasure and Love you Forever.
Until we meet again, Linda xxoo

Charlie, Kevin & Robert, We were so sorry to hear about the passing of Bob. We both have great memories of him at the lake in NH. One that comes to mind is when our boat capsized with Charlie on the back water sking. Bob came to our rescue in his boat. It was scary but we all laughed about it later; No one was hurt except for the outboard motor. We had lots of fun!! Please accept our sympathy to you and your family during this difficult time.

Especially the parties he attended at my home with fellow employees at UPS. e.g. Linda Carofano, Judi Mize, and Cheryl Oliszcak, and others. Rest In Peace and keep them laughing up there!
