Karen and family...Bob was one of my favorite people. His sense of humor and his compassion for people and animals was a great attribute. I will miss him and I will miss meeting both of you at the deli.
You are in my prayers.

Debbie, Karen, Brian, Eric and Becky,
I am so very sorry to learn of Bob's passing. Bob was a stand up guy who was a good son, brother, husband and father, who was responsible and compassionate. I believe the most memorable event for me in regard to Bob was when Debbie and I picked him up from Love Field (prior to DFW Airport) when he arrived back home from Vietnam. That was a very real moment and emotional for us all.
My bother and I were talking this morning about...
