Read MoreWatched "It's a Wonderful Life" with my boys tonight, their first time. They agreed that it was an almost perfect movie, but they could do with less smooching. Your role as young George riveted them, and got them interested in the movie. Thank you for being part of something special that I shared with my family.
You are not forgotten.

For Bob...Your role in
It's A Wonderful Life almost
stole the film.
WEEP NOT FOR ME
Do not weep for me when I no longer dwell among the wonders of the earth; for my larger self is free, and my soul rejoices on the other side of pain...on the other side of darkness.
Do not weep for me, for I am a ray of sunshine that touches your skin, a tropical breeze upon your face, the hush of joy within your heart and the innocence of babes in mothers...

To Boopa,
Bob, you became the father I was missing. It took a few years for us to grow a mutual understanding and respect for each other, but I can't express how much you have influenced my life.
What I will never be able to replace are the lessons and advice you provided to me as a father, husband and business partner - along with the language you used to express these opinions. Priceless.
My children, your grandkids, will embody the same spirit and approach to life you...

Safely Home
Father we entrust our brother Bob to your mercy. You loved him greatly in this life: now that he is freed from all its cares, give him happiness and peace forever. Welcome him now into paradise where there will be no more sorrow, no more weeping or pain, but only peace and joy with Jesus your Son, and the Holy Spirit forever and ever.
May God hold Bob in the palm of His hand. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My deepest sympathies.
