Not sure what to say?

It has been a long year without Bob. His sweet kindness and generosity made everyone feel special. He gave his all in life and I'm sure he's giving his all in heaven with Mr. K. The kind notes and condolences will forever be in my heart. The shared memories and experiences with others made us more thoughtful and compassionate. He also was a mentor to me and the family. I loved his ability to turn situations around and end in a more positive way.
I will always remember Bob stopping...

I shall always remember Bob's smile, the twinkle in his eyes and his handshake. He was truly one of the warmest humans I have ever known. We will miss you, Bob.

Heartfelt condolences to Bob's family. We both enjoyed working with him at Marion Laboratories. He was a wonderful man, with a smile that brightened every room he entered. He was a terrific role model for how leaders can bring out the best in others by convening people to talk and listen, to trust each other, and contribute to their stakeholders and communities.

Bob was an insured of mine and used to come in and just talk. He was a wonderful man with a rich history of caring for others. We will miss him.

I met Bob in class on philanthropy at UMKC. He graciously let me interview while I was a student at Benedictine College about the world of foundations and helped me become a philanthropic advisor. He was the best mentor I ever had.

Dear Kathy and family,
I am so sad to hear of Bob's passing. He was our Community Champion in Barnstable in 2006, and an enthusiastic supporter of our designation as one of the 100 Best Communities for Young People in America (four times!) Kristin and I were fondly remembering how you both surprised us at one of the award ceremonies in Washington DC!! He was also a kindred spirit, a fellow grandfather raising his grandchildren, and an all around good soul.
Please know that my thoughts...

Dear Kathy and Family,

From your friends at Price Candy Company we remember Bob as being a friend to all and yours as being a great duo.

Bob walked into my life at John R Wood Properties. I think it was our destiny. He was a sweet man who loved his wife and his dog and I'll miss his phone calls to see how I was doing. He's a very giving man and will be missed.
