Not sure what to say?

It has been a year ago today that Bob passed from this world. He is missed more than he would have known.

I remember Bob buying a car from my brother when I was 17. Then Bob got me started in the music business as I would "sit-in" playing guitar with his band. He was one of the greatest guitar players I ever knew. Later, I met him again after joining the PA Masons. Bob made a great impression on my life. I will never forget him.

Dear Joycelyn & Dennis:

I don't know if either of you remember me, but I worked with Bob for over 8 years. I was with him during all the terrible times of him losing his beloved wife, mother and Scadge. Bob and I were very good friends and I loved and respected him dearly. Actually my connection with Bob goes back to when I was maybe about 10 years old, he played in a band with my older brother and I would sit and listen to them when they practiced in my parent's living room....

Dear Joycelyn,
I Played music with you Dad back in the early 60's. We were playing rock and roll and we still talk about how great a guitarist your Dad was. We had great fun and I have great memories of him. He was special. I wish I had pictures of us playing back then. We played at Roslyn Inn, Crafton, Club 77 Bridgeville & DeSardo's Lounge on Banksville road. At one time we were playing 6 nites a week. Those are priceless times. Loved you Dad.

Dear Joycelyn:

Your dad was a great guy and a great musician. He always helped family members with legal advice, and was kind to older family members, like my mother, Loretta, Bun's sister. He will be missed.

Dear Jocelyn,
Your father was always ready to help with any legal advice for free to family members. He especially helped me with a problem many years ago when I was only 19 years old. He just stepped up and helped me without question. For that and other things that were just Bob, I will fondly remember him.
Love , Aunt Jen

My sympathy to the Hillen and Hlad families.

Dear Jocelyn,

When we were kids I always remember coming into your house either hearing music in the "big room," or seeing your dad leaning on the counter eating his favorite pasta dish while reading a book. He truely enjoyed his passions in life, which should be celebrated.

Love You,
Alexandra
