Not sure what to say?

Dear Betty, As a much younger cousin (perhaps not now!), I always was proud that Bobby was my oldest cousin...and, his mother, my dear Aunt Till, was my most favorite aunt.........and, the other younger cousins loved her too. During the summers at Hawk's Neck Beach, she would give me and Susan (Hungerford) a 50 cent piece when she came to visit. I didn't know about Bobby's death until tonight when my mother, Anne Grant Buck, now 97, and living here in Litchfield at an assited living, called...

Betty, I was so sorry to hear about the passing of Big Teddy Bear Bob. A wonderful man who will be remembered in so many loving ways...and who will live on in many hearts forever. I will miss his smile. My love, thoughts, and healing prayers to you and your family, and to all those many friends who hold you and Bob close.
With sincere sympathy,
Your 'Happy Feet Nurse' Nancy

Don,

I'm really sorry to hear about your Dad. We both know that he is now with God and in a better place with his suffering gone.

Your Dad will always be with you; his spirit and goodness will be part of you no matter where you go, and although I never met your father I see a part of him in you everyday.

Having lost my father in 2002 I know firsthand what your loss feels like. I’m certain your Dad loved you very much and I know you will miss him terribly....

Keith and I ARE SADDENED BY bOB'S PASSING. We always looked forward to holidays and birthdays. We know they would be evenings filled with great storied and huge belly-laughs. He's been a special edition to our extended family, and we share your grief. All our love, Keith and Marsha Inrig
