The Officers and Members of Harmony Chapter No. 18 of the Disabled American Veterans join in extending Heartfelt Sympathy to you and your family in this Hour of Sorrow.

November 14, 2016 85th birthday. Bob shared the same day of birth with his son Kelly, his granddaughter Meaghan and his niece.

I will miss you Dad. I enjoyed our weekly talks these past years during those evening commutes. You were my "go to guy" for any questions involving the magic of electricity. Years ago, you showed me that with a little hard work, the right tools and some direction a guy could fix or build just about anything. Your stories, I really got to know a side of you I never saw or knew existed. Thank you. Rest in Peace - you did well!

Rest in peace, Uncle Robert. May the family find comfort and love from the prayers we are all sending your way.

Not only was he my loving Grandfather, but he was my bestfriend as well. Not only did I learn how to be over the top sarcastic, stubborn, and just all around sassy from him, but I learned how to be kind even when you wanted to tell someone off. He taught me to always stick up for myself and to never let anyone push me down. To always stand back up and that even if you are stubborn, you still can learn how to ask for help. Words cannot express the impact he had on my life and how much he meant...

I love you beyond words, Dad. I miss you every day along with your stories, words of wisdom and even your sarcasm. Thank you for everything. I am so glad we had the time we had the last few years to just talk. It was my honor to know you. I am so glad you are at peace now. You will be missed every day, but I look forward to the day we will see each other again.

"Just living the dream" almost every conversation I had with my brother began with those words. The irony was he did just that...from a very difficult childhood to obtaining Masters degrees while a life time service to his country. He never understood "can't". His determination was his lifestyle. He left home early when I was young but I always thought he was awesome. I send my best to his family you had a very special person in your lives. Proud to say,sister which he always called me. Marion

I'm deeply sorry for the loss of your loved one.May loving words comfort your family at this time of sorrow. (Isaiah 57:15)
