I just found out about Bo and I am in such disbelief. Although it has been years since I saw him, he will always be a very important part of my life. He was my first friend and someone I will always cherish. I simply cannot express what an impact he had on my life. My best to John and Loni and his family.

I heard about Bo's passing from mutual friends from Von Steuben. I was so very sorry to hear about it and that it happened so suddenly. I remember a great big guy with a huge smile who loved to laugh and gave us rides in his car if we needed one. My prayers go out to his fiancee, family and friends. I am extremely sorry for your loss. Renee (Davis) Kapraun

Joanne and Dejanovic family,
Big Bob's sudden and tragic death was a complete surprise. Joanne, all the times spent by the fire and toasting the friendship Bob and I had will always be a great memory. Seeing Bob's Dad kill all those ducks. the rides through the woods, seeing the shed blown over, these and many other memories have sealed that lasting friendship that not even death will erase.
Joanne, you and all Bob's family will be in our prayers.
May God console and strengthen you in your time of sorrow.
