Not sure what to say?

I cannot believe it has been two years. Geez I miss him. We danced and laughed a lot. He was always just a phone call away. Best dancer ever!! I love this photo of him. His warmth and kindness shine through. RIP my friend. You left a hole in my heart.

Dad, Happy Birthday. I loved you. You were a wonderful father when we were young. I have very cherished memories of my childhood because of you.

We love you so much Grandpop, and you will be sorely missed. Thinking of you always.

Bob I will miss you more than you know. Our phone calls & laughs. You will always be my favorite dance partner & friend. I love you.

Bob was a dear dance friend. He moved with such energy and joy -- I was surprised to learn his age here. When he was living in Royersford, Bob and I attended the Blob Ball in Phoenixville, a 1950's dance -- it was so much fun. Another special dance night was when his granddaughter came with him to a Saturday night Peppermint dance. I (and all of his dance partners) will miss him.

Dear Leslie and Robbie, so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Joe and I have very fond memories of him and hope that your family finds peace during this very difficult time.

Bob was such a sweet man. So kind and thoughtful. He was one of my favorite dance partners at the TK Club. He did all the dances, waltz, swing, zydeco and was so smooth. We always laughed and talked while dancing. He will be missed by all the ladies!!

Prior to 2008, when we lived in SE PA, Bob would often travel to music festivals in our car. He was always delightful company. He was a big part of our dance community. We will miss him.
