Not sure what to say?

We think of you often Bob! Love you!!

I´m sitting here with a cup of coffee reflecting on our times together and I´m smiling from ear to ear. Thanks for your mentoring and guidance. Carol and I will toast you tonight with a cocktail in your memory. We miss you and love you.

Bob, we still think about you often and miss you a bunch and always will!

Bob, you were always full of humor, wit, and laughter. You looked after all of us and made sure we were taken care of. I will miss you. Thank you for being my brother-in-law.

I remember Cousin Bob primarily due to his genuine caring for relatives and friends. Next was the fact that he had such a fun sense of humor and could always bring a smile and laughter to everyone around him. My condolences to Linda, his other family members and his many friends.

Whatever am I going to do without you on this planet? Thanks so much, my dear Cousin Bob, for sharing so richly your life experiences, our family history, and your love with me. I loved you dearly, and you will stay alive always...

My condolences to Linda and family. Bob was a friend and gentleman during our employment years together at the A J Bayless Markets.
