Not sure what to say?

Thinking of you today.

Sounds like an amazing man with a great family!!! I wish I was able to know him!

I didn't know Bob, but "met" him as I read thru the obits. Sounds like he had a good sense of humor and that is one of the most important things to have in life.

Grandpa Bob was a simple man, but he could take the most mundane story and make it very entertaining. He had many experiences that he could draw from to be the life of many family dinners and parties. His obit was meant to draw the reader in and be entertaining, just like Grandpa Bob! Very little was fabricated, but a bit was embellished.
He was loved. He will be missed.

i'm so sorry to learn of his death. I'm his cousin, Juanita. His mom and my mom were sisters. Bob would meet with my husband, Hal and some friends at White Castle on week-ends for coffee. They will miss him very much, and i will too. He was really quite a character - made people laugh all the time.

A young Bob Baker

I didn't know Bob. I do know he passed along a great sense of humor to at least someone in his family. A well written obit. I hope his humor helps relieve the pain of his loss.

I didn't know your father, but his obit caught my eye. On a lazy Sunday, I found myself chuckling as I read it. Whoever wrote the text captured a man with a tremendous sense of humor.

Offering to all my sincere condolence for your great loss . I am sure that there are many fond memories to cherished and to comfort your hearts . cherished those memories and may God proved to be a source of comfort and strength to all.
