Rest in peace Bob. Rich Ardolino at Preferred Care

I have fond memories of Bob and Linda from when I was a teenager and my mother was married to George Arscott, Bob's Uncle. I could tell that Family was always important to him. Since becoming friends on FB I admired his faith and how proud he was of his daughter when she sang in Church. May Robert rest in the loving arms of his savior. May happy memories of him ease the pain of his loss for his family.

Bob was a Fraternity Brother of mine at Indiana Tech, way back when. He was a great man, and a good friend. I was able to connect with him again online in the last few years. I will miss him. Rest in Peace my friend, and I'll look forward to getting together with you again in the Promised Land!

A good and faithful servant.Blessed to have known Bob.

We will be keeping your family in prayer. Bob was such a wonderful man. Devoted to his family. He was an important part of The St Paul’s Church family. He will be missed by all that knew him.

Big Bob you were a good guy and a great fraternity brother.

I am so sorry to hear this. I knew him from his days at Indiana Tech. Very nice guy and fun. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family members.





Rest in peace Bobby. You are loved by many as a classmate and friend.
