Not sure what to say?

"Uncle Bob and Aunt Kathy" have been in my vocabulary since I was born in '76'. I have been beyond blessed with the both of them. Uncle Bob has always made me feel special, loved, cared about, and happy. How could anyone not love Uncle Bob? He would always yell out from his lazy-boy chair, "Hey Huuuuunnnny!" when I'd come over to the house. I lived with him and Aunt Kathy for a brief time and I remember how fun and funny he could be, but always a hard worker, trying to get sleep for the...

I'm not really sure if anyone, other than the nieces and nephews, realizes the significant impact Uncle Bobby left on the children of the entire family. Uncle Bobby was a great uncle. But, he was more than just an uncle; he was, in most cases, the only father figure a lot of us had. When I say father figure, I mean the type of person who shows you what a true father should be like. Uncle Bobby taught us how to drive, how to dance, how to ski, how to laugh, how to hug, how to love, and...

Poppie,
Over the years I have had the ultimate pleasure to have been graced with your love. You have shown me what a fathers love is all about, you opened up your heart & love for me with open arms. You took care of me as a father would have taken care of his daughter. You were always looking out for me & the kids doing everything & anything possible to make sure we were ok. The memories I have are such joy, I only wish we had more. You have been my Hero, my Rock, and comfort zone for...

Uncle Bobby, You know, many times you were the night in shining armor. Not only were you a wonderful father to your own children,but you were always there for me. I cannot count how many times you showed up at the door when there was a problem. It did not matter when, where, or even what time you were called, you were there. You always solved the problem. I never forgot or will forget the love you showed and the direction you gave. Yes you were the ultimate joker and probably the funnest...

I met Bob in Service Awareness in 1985. He could always brighten up a dull meeting. Even though he went into management,he never forgot me and always had a handshake and a smile for me. Thanks for serving our country and for being a good boss and friend in Feeders, Bob.My family will be praying for the Griffith family. I will miss him.

I met Bob thru his daughter Carolyn. Bob, (as you all know) was a fun and loving man. He treated me like one of the family. My favorite memory: was the many times I came to visit and his toupee was sitting a top the rocking chair. More like it was a beloved pet than a hairpiece. He had an infectious smile and sense of humor. My prayers go out to the family.

The last time I saw Bob was at Robbie's graduation party. He was wrestling with Krystal and Bobby, because someone with clothes on was going into the pool. He was laughing and making jokes, as always.

What a great father Bob was, and not just to Bobby and Carolyn.

Your marriage Kathy was an example to us all. Your love was obvious to all. Together you've been through a lot and ended up on top. We all hope to end up like the two of you.

The whole...

Kathy,
You and your family are in our hearts and in our prayers, Bob was a great man and will always be in our most fondest of memories..

Bob and I first met in the mid 80's while working at UPS. We chose two different paths. He went into management and I stayed an hourly worker. Our paths crossed many times over the years. Just prior to his retirement from UPS, Bob became my supervisor. We didn't always agree, but we never left a discussion without being friends.It was a pleasure to work with Bob.
