Robert J. Hughes

Welp, it's been one year. And not a day goes by where something doesn't remind me of Bob... a catchy phrase he used to describe something, a humorous observation, or a name he tagged to something or someone.
After college I had the privilege of getting together with Bob on rare occassions. But every interaction turned into a memorable event that we would reminisce for years to come. Bob was definitely the life of the party, in so many ways.
Before a year ago, it was comforting to...

Happy Birthday Guzzer, in heaven. I know you would have had a birthday about a week or so ago. I still think of you often and all the great times we had at IUP. Every time I hear the Who, Pink Floyd and Led Zepp. God bless Joyce, Kristin, Mark, Stella and everyone else whom I know also miss him. He left a tidal wave in the great pond of our life.

I wish I would have expressed to Bob how thankful I am for the life we had. I am thankful for the little things. I loved how he would hold my hand every time we crossed the street. How he would drop me off in front of the store when it was raining. How he would put my mind at ease when I worried about the little things. I told him I loved him many times, but I am sorry I took for granted "the little things". God had blessed me to have Bob as my husband for almost 19 years.

Dear Joyce and Kristin, Bob is still always in our thoughts and you all remain in our prayers. God Bless you and keep you. We know Bob was smillin that great smile of his when Kristin rode that "top thrill dragster" this summer. I know you'll always make your dad proud of you, Kristin. God Bless. Love, cindy & allie

NOT A DAY GOES BY THAT I DON'T THINK OF MY BROTHER I CAN'T WATCH A STEELER TOUCHDOWN OR A PENGUIN GOAL WITHOUT EXPECTING THE PHONE TO RING AND BOB BEING ON THE OTHER END DOING HIS BEST MYRONE COPE OR MIKE LANGE IMPRESSION .I CANNOT BEGIN TO EXPLAIN HOW MUCH BOB INFLUENCED MY LIFE ,HE SHAPPED EVERYTHIING FROM MY TASTE IN MUSIC TO HOW I TREAT PEOPLE .I JUST HOPE I CAN BE HALF THE FATHER TO DEVIN THAT HE WAS TO KRISTEN .HE WAS SIMPLY THE BEST PERSON ,FATHER AND BROTHER THAT I HAVE EVER KNOWN .I...

Some of my best memories are of Bob when he moved here to California; everyone enjoyed Bob’s sense of humor and fun attitude. We will all miss him very much. Our deepest sympathies, Jim Erotas and Family
