We will miss you forever Bob. You were the best brother to Ed and best brother-in-law to me. Your songs, jokes and smiles made us all happy. We know you are dancing in heaven with Joyce and telling jokes. Love, Louise & Ed

Bob was a sweet man. I met him through my Aunt while playing Yahtzee with him. He would always help us add up our dice. He will be greatly missed. RIP Bob! We'll play Yahtzee again someday! :-)
