Not sure what to say?

I met Bob at the K of C 456, and was impressed by how full of life he was. Although he was 36 years older, he connected with my generation. Heart of Gold!

I met Mr. Edwards at Egyptian Lacquer when I worked there as a teen. He always made me smile. I just loved his smile too. He once gave my mom his meatloaf recipe and I still use that recipe to this day. God bless you Mr. Edwards.

Bob was a WONDERFUL man and my memories of him are full of joy and laughter!! Heaven welcomed you with open arms and shouted "Good and Faithful Servant are you"!! I know my dad & mom said, "It's a lot more fun now that you are here Bob"!! Condolences to the family, he will be greatly missed here!

I had the pleasure to have lunch wit Bob and other Egyptians in August. Bob and I worked together color matching before I went to the service lab. Bob help me in my job and I was always grateful.
Bob, I know God will use you to color those rainbow and the next rainbow I see,I will think of you. May you rest in peace.

So sorry to hear about Bob. I have wonderful memories of Bob when we visited Lafayette and when he visited us in Lebanon, PA.
I am proud and blessed to have had Bob for a cousin.

Thanks Bingo Bob for 15+ years of calling patient bingo at St. Elizabeth Hospital. Every Thursday at 2 pm Bob signed on for a 30 minute televised Bingo session with patients. We knew how important it was when on a number of occasions patients would not agree to be dismissed until Bob signed off and the St. Elizabeth Auxiliary delivered the prizes. He and I shared our love of the circus and I especially liked to listen to "hopping the train stories" with Junior to be with Emmett Kelly until...

Bob was a good friend of my father's, Robert Hall Sr. They worked together for many years at Egyptian Lacquer.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time.
