Dearest Helen, and Bobby's entire family,
It is with my deepest condolences that I send you my love and friendship during this extremely difficult time.
Bobby was a wonderful guy all the years we had the pleasure of knowing him, as was Mr. H, (..I couldn't pronounce your last name when I was younger ), but I sure tried. In our older years, Bobby still 20 yrs my senior, he would visit me for lunch when he realized where I worked. I'd cook him the special, and he'd have a beverage or two, and be on his way, always with a smile, and always a story left behind with myself and anyone who may have been present at the time.
Bobby 'always' had more than a 'kind' word, he had many 'generous ' words, to speak of my Dad & Mom...the family neighbors growing up, Charlie & Mary Anderson, ( both recently passed on now ).
They would even bump in to one another from time to time where I tossed a burger, poured a cocktail. I made Bobby his fairly usual grilled cheese & small beer..a teeny glass, sometimes a second, and that was it. He was a kind and generous soul, and I often thought of him as time moved on, and the cafe' closed.
I married and moved, and Dad & mom passed on. I speak with cousin Carol Ann down in Fla. from time to time, which is where I came to learn of Bobby's passing, and the sadness Aunt Helen and her sister Carol down in Fla. must be feeling. No parent should ever bury their child, I watched as my parents did, and I just want Aunt Helen...as we called her while playing in the pool at Arbonas house and growing up, that Bobby loved you so very much. We spoke of you each time he would visit for lunch...that was back in the early 2000's. He always spoke so highly of his mom, and was eager to go up and mow the yard, or do anything that needed to be done, just as his dad used to do. He was always sure to tell me, "...if I see Charlie, (my Dad), out in the yard, I'll give him a holler, or stop in quick if I've got time, I can't keep mom waiting."
So, as I'm sure you all already know, but please be reassured, especially yourself Aunt Helen, Bobby loved and adored you very much, all of you. May God be with you, and bless you all during this very difficult time.
On behalf of myself, husband, and entire Anderson family, I extend our most sincere sympathies for the loss of Robert, (Bobby),
