Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.May God comfort you at this very difficult time.

Adam,Dale and family, may you find comfort in your memories at this time of sorrow.

Bob,
I always called you Bob, but you really were a second Dad to me. Your generosity toward me and the way you included me as "Son #3" will remain with me all my life. I was truly blessed to have know you as a Dad for the last 11 years. My consolation comes in knowing that we have a strong soldier joining the Church Triumphant!

Our thoughts and wishes are with Aunt Winnie and the kids as uncle Bob ends his life-journey and begins another. Godspeed.

Dad,
It's too bad it took your passing for me to fully appreciate how you lived your life. Just know that I will try to live the rest of my life as a reflection of what you have tried to pass on to me all these years. I know you loved me and I know that you knew that I loved you, too. I'll miss you. Have a great time fishing with Ray, Alan, Grampa Gus and Grampa Tom!

Your Son,
Ray

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. The memories of Robert will always be with us.

Uncle Bob ...we will miss you. I recall so many good times that were spent with Uncle Bob and Aunt Winnie. A visit in New Jersey, the party that you held for my parents, Chet and Loretta, the visits on Christmas Eve to Sturbridge, and the list goes on. Bob was always willing to help anyone and was always a model of a good, loving, caring husband, father, uncle, and friend. Be with God and my mom and dad.
