We were blessed with the opportunity to meet Bob because he and Melody were married. This humble, strong-willed, loving, funny man will forwever have a place in my heart and mind as I go through life and face any challenges. He (and Mel and Caroline) are truly an inspiration to me. "Don't worry, about a thing...Every little thing is gonna be alright." --You are forever a part of 'Three Little Birds'.

God Blessed Bob and those of us that had the pleasure to know him. Unfortunately for the ones he leaves behind it was not enough time spent with us.
Prayers for Melody, Caroline, family & friends.
