My belated condolences to the Howe family and extended family. My Uncle Bob was the first person to get me behind the wheel of a car and tried to teach me how to drive! It didn´t go all that well... But he tried. I remember spending Thanksgivings together, Aunt Therese, Uncle Bob and cousin Rob and our Nana. Fun times! I haven´t seen the family in many years but the love always remains. You were all loved and will not be forgotten. Rest In Peace, your family all together again. Your...

I'm glad to have seen you after my mom passed away in May. When I told Mary Jean you had gone to heaven, too, she teared up and reminded me of how you brought her lollipops. You will be missed here on earth. I'm sorry I missed your funeral, I didn't hear of your passing until it was already over. Thank you for being a wonderful friend to my whole family.

Katie and Andrew, you know how we all felt about Papa here on Smith St. That man was quite the character. You’re stories about him always made us laugh. We will truly miss him. Katie you were amazing taking care of Papa and he was so grateful to have you there by his side. He was so proud of you and Andrew and he loved you both so much! I know he is watching over both of you now and will always be with you. Not goodbye, but see you later. Love you both, Auntie Grace, Uncle Gerry, Bethany and...

So sorry for the loss of your grandfather Katie. May he RIP.

We are so very sorry to hear about Bob’s passing. Our deepest condolences go out to Katie and the family! He will be missed dearly in the neighborhood!

Bob, what can I say but WOW! How sad I was when I heard of your passing. You were always so kind to me and my LATE WIFE LINDA, whom you were so fond of and the feeling was mutual with her. She & I LOVED talking with you over the fence. And it was my pleasure helping you out with the things that you didn't feel comfortable doing yourself, and I felt privileged for you to ask me and always said you knew I could do and fix anything. It made me happy to be able to prove you right. (I'm just glad...

My condolences to his family and friends. Bob was a good man that I was lucky enough to get to know. We used to play Keno at the Columbus MiniMart with the guys before I went to work. I am sorry to hear if his passing, he will be missed.
