Our sympathy to your family. We are sorry for your loss. Family of the late Henry J & Cecilia Kresse

I will always remember Bob for his perpetual smile, friendship, boundless energy, humility, wide ranging conversations and so much more. He was a true gentleman and a scholar. He was as good a listener as he was a talker. Always very interested in what you had to say and what book you were reading. I will miss those conversations which often were accompanied by chicken wings, beef on weck, a burger or a liver wurst sandwich. When it came to community service, Bob was my mentor. While he was...

Bob Kresse, as my dad, Deacon Jimmie Boyd (deceased), would always address, was a dear friend and advocate of change on the Buffalo´s east side. I remember meeting Mr. Kresse on several occasions and I was always impressed with his desire to help people in need. My dad was a deacon at St. Mary of Sorrow for many years and always spoke highly of Mr. Kresse. I´m also a graduate of St. Mary of Sorrow´s Montessori school and St Mary of Sorrow. Bob Kresse was a kind and giving man. May God...

Mary Ann and family, Pat and I are so very sorry for your loss. Bob was such a wonderful, influential presence in the WNY community, who gave so much of himself to benefit others. He will be missed. Our love and condolences.

I knew Bob Kresse to be a loving husband and father and a dedicated choir member at Nativity of Our Lord Church in Orchard Park. I send my condolence to all of his family and want to be remembered especially to his children who were students at Nativity when I served as their principal.
May the angels lead Bob's soul to heaven where he will sing God's praises eternally.

Mary Ann - I miss your smiles, unwavering support and positivity. I am so sad to hear of Bob´s passing. He was a wonderful man who graced the community with his hard work and dedication to everything he was so passionate about. I think about you often and all of the love and support you offered during my time at The Gardens. My sincerest condolences to you and your family. Much Love, Mary (Rose) Cerasa

In Deepest Sympathy...Our Prayers are with Mary and Bob's Family

Uncle Bob always offered a listening ear and a great sense of humor. I´m going to miss him

Bill and Family, On an Irish headstone the words:" Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Love leaves a memory no one can steal". You Dad's memory, so richly recalled in recent days is that which you will always hold dear. That he and your mom raised a loving and caring family may be the greatest of his gifts. Truly, it is that love and support in the days to follow that will sustain you as you relish his life and continue to support his endeavors. Our sincere condolences. Jim and Lynn...
