Robert G. "Bob" Rietveld

Dear Bob you will always be missed. I loved your sense of humor. When you and Michael and Johnny were together it was like a comedy show. You were always so great to our family my mom and dad also loved very very much. I hope you guys are all together now and watching over us and keeping us safe. RIP Bobby,

To Reggie and the girls,

I know that this has been a long struggle for you all. It still seems so unreal that Bob is really gone. Even though we didn't see him very much in the last few years, we always considered him still a part of our family. We never stopped caring about him and thinking of him.
Your Dad would have been so proud of the way that his daughters conducted themselves at the wake and the funeral. You represented the Rietveld name as he would have wanted.
You...

Dear Reggie, so sorry to read of Bob's passing. We haven't run into each other in years but I still have many memories of our kids being together at St Jude's. God bless you in your time of grief. Nancy Wright Crowley

For those of you who would like to have this, here is the eulogy from Uncle Bob's funeral. He will be truly missed.

It is in the everyday that we struggle to define ourselves, it is in every thought and action that we hope to become the person we know we can be. But there will come a day when that great struggle has ended, when we have spoken our last word and carried out our last good deed. It is then that our loved ones and the life we leave behind must speak on our behalf.

I...

To our Mom, thank you for raising us with spiritual values, morals and integrity. You have been there for all of us...
