Not sure what to say?

Dear Sharon and family, with another passing of a member of the uptown Round~ Ballers. I reflect with a smile on my face the many good times we shared together. Bob was one of the best! The living owe it to those who no longer can speak to tell their story for them. To live in the hearts and minds of those we leave behind is not to die. I have many stories of Bobby and our friends that will certainly be shared.

Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of Bobby. I had the opportunity to play basketball with him for many years at the William Penn gym. This was followed by fellowship at Abe's Tavern or Piccolo's. Those were the days! Bobby was one of the most friendly people I ever met. Now he's with his teammates, those Roundballers in the Sky!! God bless Bobby Burke.

Dear Sharon and family,I just heard from Tracy the passing of Bobby. Know that you and your family are all in my thoughts and prayers. The party in heaven is really celebrating his arrival. I'm sure Frank and Joanne were there to meet him as he passed through the pearly gates. I often wished I was present at that famous 8th grade picnic we all heard so much about. Take care and may all your beautiful memories bring you comfort and keep you smiling.

Dear Sharon and Family,

My sincere condolences to you and your family. Bob was like family to my dad. He was loved by all of us.!

Bobby was one great guy. God Bless all of
you.
