Not sure what to say?

Peggy, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I have fond memories of you and Bob many, many years ago. The last time we met was at the family reunion that my brother Jim hosted about 6 years ago; you were about to or had just recently moved to Leesburg. Afterwards I hoped we would connect, and I regret that I didn't make it happen. I hope I can remedy this soon. For now, Marina's and my thoughts are with you and your family.

Bob was the cream of the crop. His love and caring was always present. He always thought about "the other" person. He will be missed by his friends and family. We were always excited to be in the company of Bob an Peg.

Missed every day as we think about 1965 when we arrived on Militia Hill Drive to the best friend and neighbor anyone could want. Many, many years of good times and happiness. Mary and Jim Catalino

Our thoughts are with the family at this time, especially Aunt Peg, we love you.
Be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.

My wife and I had the pleasure of meeting Bob and Peg over six years ago. Other than the fact that he would always remind me that the North won the war I would indulge him in his stories of history over a glass of Monkey Shoulders on ice.
My favorite story and outing with Bob was on a sunny day on the Potomac River when our families ventured down to Port Tobacco, Maryland where John Wilkes Booth crossed the Potomac into Virginia after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. On our trip...

Memories of July 4th 2008 at Betty and Genes. Love from Australia xx

I was blessed to know Bob through my wife, his niece Lee Ann. I was closer to "Uncle" Bob than to any of my natural uncles. He was very kind and generous to me from the first time that i met him. I love him and Aunt Peg as my own family. I will miss this wonderful man.

Always a great example of a husband and father, a caring uncle who will be greatly missed! He always told me when I was younger to run faster than the boys, hit the ball, and have fun♀♀ Love to Aunt Peg and family❤

What an incredible example for our family of work ethic, commitment to family and generosity. I will always remember his kindness to me and still can hear his voice. Love to all and prayers especially to Aunt Peg. He will be greatly missed.
