Robert John Nelson

Can't believe you have been gone so long. I miss our projects, plus I could use your help on my own LOL. Hell I miss you. The Cubs look good this year. The Bears look good too, but believe it or not my Lions have a team. I didn't know (or remember) that this page was here. I will try and leave a note every now and then. Miss you buddy, Sean

Hey Ozzie! Can´t believe another year has passed. Not much has changed around here. Mom passed away on Valentines Day. She loved you bud!! I remember her asking me on more than one occasion if you had a home of your own to go to? my two oldest are getting straight A´s in college and my youngest, Anthony, is a Junior at Sandburg and is doing great. Cleaned up you and your parents headstones the other day. I still miss you, pretty much like you just died yesterday. Give my mom a kiss for me...

Boss Hog so much has happened the past few years. I miss how we could talk for hours, but mostly I miss our friendship I know that I will see you again someday.

Hey Ozzie! Can´t believe you´ve been gone 16 years. Took my son Frank on a college visit last weekend. My boys noticed the "Ozzie" special so I got the corned beef and Swiss on an onion bagel! My youngest Anthony was born right about the time you left us. I´be got 3 awesome kids. They´ve gotten to know you through all the stories I´ve told them. Still some that will have to wait a few years but we´ll get there:) George joined you this year, how´s that going? That other jag also joined you...

Happy Birthday Bob. Thinking of you a bit more than usual today. Today was always our special day for celebrating. Miss you always. R.I. P. my friend

Ozzie, another year without you being here bud but you were certainly in my thoughts. Stopped by Holy Sepulcre over the weekend and had one for both of us, was a little wet:) Was that you? NYHB! NYH! Rest in Peace Ozzie, Rest in Peace!

Another year has come and gone, still miss you like crazy. RIP

Hey Ozzie, another year has passed and still miss you. Think about you all the time. Don't know if I told you but Mo has taught all my boys in Junior High:) Rest in peace bud! Love you.

Bob was the first person I met, holding a Reader, looking for an apartment, sitting at his bar...John Barleycorn. Over the years I became a regular, till I moved in 1995. I'll always remember the cold Dec Friday night, JB was packed to the gills and I had no hope of getting a beer. Like magic, the people in front of me parted and their was my bartender, standing on the bar, reaching thru the crowd handing me my regular beer. People in the place wanted to know who I was to get that...
