Hi Dad, miss you every day. I can picture you and Melanie dancing or swimming in the ocean. I'm sure she ran to you with open arms on June 21st. Watch over us. I love you, Jackie

I had a very happy memory this morning, playing catch with our gloves and baseball in the backyard and then a challenge to a ping pong game. I know you hear my prayers to you every morning. Miss you xxxxoooo Jackie

Melanie, I don't know if you will see this. This is 2018. I am sorry for your loss. All the comments, especially yours were so touching. I love you so much and feel so grievious for you. You once told me you were a born again Christian so you know you will see him again. I am a born again Christian believer too. I hope if you see this you will remember me. I lived on January Drive in Torrance California. We were good friends, maybe even best friends . I am on Facebook @ donna Stilson Tolman....

Just ten more days and it will be our Anniversary, 21 years we would have been married not counting the 15 years we went together. I miss you every minute of every day. It just does not seem possible that you are not here with me. I have some sad news to tell you but I know you already know. Daddy passed away Thursday, March 5th. I know in my heart that you were waiting for him and took his hand to join you. Also Aunt Marcelle passed away on Saturday, February...

My Darling Husband, My Best Friend, My SoulMate.....this time tomorrow we would have been checking into our condo at the Whaler on Kaanapali Beach in Maui. I could not bring myself to go without you, so I listed it with Monti Fitts Realty and they have rented it out. I still cannot bring myself to realize you are gone from me forever. I find myself going into your closet and bearing my face in your clothes, trying to find your scent. I have to keep talking to myself to be strong as I know...

Hello, my name is Greg Teregis. I'm Bob's physician and friend. I've had the privilege to know both Bob and Melanie for close to six years. As a physician I try to remain objective and sometimes I try to not let my emotions and transference get in the way of patient care. It is very rare that I personally allow a patient to become such a close friend. But, for Bob this was impossible. Knowing Bob's heart and virtues, we became close friends. Mentally this has been tough. I've always...

Dear Uncle Bob & Auntie M
I have so many fond memories of uncle Bob but most of all I remember how much he loved his family. He and Mel put on the most amazing xmas gatherings that I looked so forward to from when I was a small child to when they moved down south. You will be so missed such a great man you were.

I am so sorry to know of this tragic loss, please know that the Creator of life recognize your pain - "He is healing the broken hearted ones, and is binding up their painful spots" (Psalms 147:3). Draw close to God and he will draw close to you, especially at this time of need (1 John 4:8)

Bob was a class act, a gentleman, and one of the great people I've ever known. I can only hope that I can live my remaining days 1/2 as honorably as Bob lived his. He would walk into my office with that big smile and Hollywood looks and light up the room. I'll miss those almost daily phone calls about investments, baseball, travel, or whatever. He's sorely missed. John Condos
