Not sure what to say?

I am sorry to hear about Bob. We were friends from 3rd grade to graduation, especially in Grade School at St. Marys. It is funny that we both became Presbyterians. I have served as pastor in the Presbyterian Church for 40 years and in the Evangelical Presbyterian Church.

Sally and Family,

I went to Saint Mary of the Mount High School with Bob. I remember being one of the classmates who practiced French, rode in his parents' convertible, and sampled some of the fine Italian cuisine with him! They are wonderful memories!

Unfortunately, I lost touch with him a while after high school, and was very saddened to hear of his passing. Clearly he was a blessing to everyone whom he met, and I'm glad to know that I'll be able to hear more about his...

Sally, it breaks my heart to hear of the passing of your loving husband and my friend Bob. My apologies for not making it to pay my respects. I was recently let go from Mellon and just found out today. I loved the old times when a group of us would get together for fish Friday's and Chinese Thursday's. So many funny stories and memories. These memories will keep Bob with us forever. I'll be sure to keep you and Bob in my prayers.
Bob

I was so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I have fond memories of working at Mellon with you both. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.

Great memories from our years at Saint Mary's High School!

Sally and Family, We are so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. Ed's first words were, he was a good man. I'm so glad we had a chance to spend time with you here and in Pittsburgh. The bro-mance began here and continued through our exploration of the greater Pittsburgh area. We both felt like we'd known Bob for years. I'm not sure which was the straight man, Bob or Ed but they sure kept us laughing a lot with quick quips and come-backs. We were crazy about him and will miss him greatly. ...

Sally, I am so sorry for you loss. I really enjoyed getting to know you and Bob as I did the landscaping work around your home. Their are some customers that I would refer to as friends, and you and Bob would fit that category. Again, my deepest condolences.

Our thoughts are with your family as you say good bye. We're so sorry.

Bob was a great man who taught me allot at both Bradford and Mellon Bank.
