Not sure what to say?

Sense of humor, love for hot cars, always lit up a room when he entered it. No matter where Uncle Bob and family were in the world he made sure to keep all of us close. All of us will miss him dearly. Our thoughts go out to Norma and all my cousins.

From Steve and family.

I will remember Uncle Bob with a smile too, because he always had one, and he had a wonderful ability to make you feel like he couldn't be any happier to see you, and that you were a special person. He truly loved life, the little things and the big things, and his love for family extended far, including all of us. My sons have warm memories of him too. He will be missed but warmly remembered.

Uncle Bobby will be missed and I will remember him for his great smile and sense of humor and the way he loved his family. I will always remember him and all of the fun times we had and know that he touched so many lives, including mine!

Bepa, I am so glad my son got an opportunity to meet you and that I had almost 27 years with you. You brought a lot of laughter into my life and my tears now are only for Mema and the rest of us as I know you are at peace. I love you dearly and always will.

For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.

You left us peaceful memories; your love is still our guide.
And though we cannot see you, you’re always by our side.

First got to know Bob at Certified Grocers and later followed him to E-One. The thing that I most remember about Bob, was his love for food. That man could eat and he was always upbeat, kind and caring. I'm very sorry to hear that he is no longer with us, but he will always be in our heart.

TO ALL THE FAMILY,
I WAS SADDENED TO LEARN OF BOB'S DEATH. I GREW UP ON WELLINGTON STREET AND PLAYED BASEBALL WITH BOB. WE HAD A FINE YEAR WITH THE HOLY FAMILY ACES AT SIX CORNERS. WE WERE THE ONLY PROTESTANTS ON THE CLUB. I RECALL HIS DAD HELPING COACH US. YOU MUST REMEMBER MY BROTHER DON WHO WENT TO SPRINGFIELD COLLEGE.BOB WAS A FINE FELLOW AND A GOOD TEAMMATE. DICK SPENCER
