Not sure what to say?

Bobby was more like a big brother than a brother-in-law. Earl and I were very close to Bobby and Karen in our adult years. I will always love and miss Karen and Bobby.

I'm just now hearing of Bob's passing. So very, very sorry to hear that! I worked with him (and Karen) at the polls for many years. He was always a hard worker and always willing to help anyone he could. He will be missed. But earth's loss is heaven's gain. I'm glad he and Karen are reunited now.

What a wonderful man! So involved! Such a light to so many. My dad was "Bob" too. Tracey, Gods comfort to you and your family!

I am heart broken about his death. I loved him like a brother since I was around 4 years old. I'll never forget when my sister married him, when I was just a child I would spend a few days during each summer with them, and Bob would take me to get a snowball, and treat me to a show.

Earl & l loved Bob as our brother. He & Karen live in our hearts & in their beautiful children & grandchildren, our nieces & nephews. RIP

We will always hold you in our hearts. Love is eternal and doesn't end with our lives. Prayers to all of you and our love.

Thank you Bob for providing your time and service to so many people, myself included.
