In honor of Uncle Bob... make the most of every day! I can hear him saying "You´re burning daylight" and share that all the time.

It was Bob who taught me how to knot a tie.I was never able to get it the way he tried to teach me.

This is a poem that my father had on his desk and it is fitting to end his guest book with it. Do not stand at my grave and weep: I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow.

Dad,it's been a year since we said good bye to you. I miss you so much. I hope you knew how much I loved and respected you. You taught me so much by how you lived your life. I really missed you at tax time this year since you were my expert. I miss being able to talk to you and get your advice. I'm so thankful for all the time we had with you I just wish it had been longer. I thank you for teaching me how to enjoy everyday of my life and live it to the fullest. Mom says I'm like you...

God saw you getting tired A cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you and whispered "Come with me." With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you fade away. Although we loved you dearly we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating
your tender hands at rest. God took you home to prove to us He only takes the best. Forever in our hearts Robert Furey 1935-2010
