Miss you Pop. Life has not been easy with so much loss of three parents in such a short period of time. I struggle daily to keep afloat but know you are watching over me. I am living a dream of yours which I hope will bring me peace and healing. I have dug deep to find the strength to find self respect and love. XO Until we are together again know I love you.

I worked with Bob as a CHEC volunteer for the last 6 winters. We repaired walkways and bridges, painted railings and signs, cut palmetto and pepper plants, and recently built an information kiosk in his memory at the entry. He had a wealth of knowledge on how to accomplish those projects in the most efficient and professional manner. I enjoyed working with him and I learned a lot.

My brother, Bob, was a retired New Jersey firefighter who in retirement became a master of woodworking. He volunteered at CHEC (Charlotte county environmental center) for over 20 yrs. Forging trails, building walkways and bridges, creating memorials and signs to guide hikers. He designed the benches and tables for resting. Bob carved many unique walking sticks which can be found in the gift shop. CHEC is a wonderful place to see Florida nature. When you visit enjoy and remember my brother...

You will be miss. I am Honored to have been with you until the end. Behave yourself! Love You Always

It just doesn't seem real. A very talented and able man...Its the only way I can remember you. To think of you as having been sick or any frailty at all doesn't compute in my mind...I love you and will miss you. Mom January 6, you February 6th ~ 3 years apart. Winters will just never be the same. My heart is broken to lose you both. There are no easy words at all. I pray that all the relatives, friends and acquaintances affected by your passing will find peace and comfort, especially...
