It's hard to believe that almost a year has gone by and you're not physically here, but ALWAYS, ALWAYS in our hearts and prayers. You and Norma are truly soulmates and I know you're both up there looking down on all of us and making sure we are okay. Just wish you could have stayed with us longer.
Bob loved life and the outdoors. I remember Norma telling me how he was taking Aaron or Chase on a camping trip or boat trip and I know those were very special times that will be...

Dad, it's been 6 months since you're gone, and we've been through so much over these last few months. Watching Mom progressively get worst over the last few months with her tumors growing, and March was a very bad month for Mom. Mom passed away on April 4th, during Spring day-light savings time, which you died on winter day-light savings, and you left us on 10-26-03 which if you add the numbers it equals 12. Mom passed away on 04-04-04 which equals 12. You and Mom are soul mates, which is why...

Each year at the holidays when I visited, Bob made me feel so welcome with that big smile, a hearty “How are you” and a full drink, or two or more. His good humor really warmed the room, and he was genuinely interested in what everyone had to say. My sympathy is with you, Norma and all of your family. His presence will be missed by more people than you realize, but his generous spirit will always be remembered with a smile.

Where do I start with all my wonderful memories of "Bobby!" Every time I see him in my mind I hear him also.. his infectious, wonderful smile - his "Shazzy!!" welcome which always warmed my heart. I knew Bob since I was a teenager - he was always in the family . I loved (and still love) his passion for life. No matter how hard things were, he always had a joke, always had a smile or a story. The glass was always full - not even 1/2 the way... I learned so much from him and Norma, my wonderful...

Hey Pop,
Although we recently missed out on the camping and canoeing that you treasured so much, I feel that the bonding we experienced while I was still young is as priceless as can be. I was an immature teenager gaining knowledge and experience about life and the outdoors. More importantly though, a son filled with admiration and respect for his father. You pushed and pushed even when I resisted and fought. You screamed, I ran. You smiled, I laughed. You cursed... I laughed harder....

Dad -- You will be missed by so many of us. You are a wonderful man and father to us and you will always be in our daily thoughts. You have been my inspiration my whole life and I Love You So Much and think of you so often. Love, Shelly

Dear Norma, Lisa, Michele, Stephanie, Leslie, Aaron and family,

We have such good memories of Bob. He really seemed to enjoy life and
the people around him, especially his family. You could see the sparkle in
his eyes when he spoke of you, his family,.....wife, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. He had a lot of other interests in his life that made him happy. Music and marching were in his soul. It was fun hearing about how he played with Aaron and...
