Not sure what to say?

Bob and my husband, Greg Riccardi, were best friends and golfing buddies for many years. Wonderful memories of them golfing at Caro Golf Course as members as well as all over Michigan.
Greg passed away just a few years ago. It is comforting to know that Bob is now in heaven with Greg, playing the most magnificent courses ever!
May God give you His peace as you remember Bob and his life.

A good friend; a good guy.

I used to work out at the gym in Caro and met Bob there. He was a very pleasant and friendly guy, easy to get along with. I knew him from the gym for years. We always got along and joked around. Very sad he is gone. I will miss him. My condolences to his family. Goodbye Bob. You were a fun guy. See you in the hereafter. Walk on my friend.

Our sincere condolences to Martia and family. We are praying for you.

We so enjoyed Bob and Martia in the Fischer Platz in Frankenmuth . We extend our deepest sympathy to Martia and family on your great loss! Lots of love to you!
