Not sure what to say?

Dear Family, I am so sad and sorry for your loss. He was always there for me, my family, friends, and even our pets. I so miss seeing him, his wonderful smile and encouraging way. You are all in my prayers.

My condolences to all of the Vickers clan. As Alison Anderson mentioned, the scavenger hunts and the raw egg toss at the joint Easter parties, bring great memories to me. I enjoyed Bob helping me with pitching when I was learning to play baseball.

Dear Inga and Family: We have such wonderful memories of Bob and his helpful support of all of his children and their endeavors as well as everyone else's children too A very, very special and loving man.

Oyster bisque, skiing in Gunnison, helping David, always a source for cooking tips, master of his kitchen, playing pitch with my boys. A friend. A force. Best son, ever, when I think of the cats. All love to the Vickers family, extended family and friends. Bob will live on in our memories and our stories.
Love, Sharon

Warmest regards,

Bob was such a gem, from his many talents warm demeanor to his love for animals. My deepest sympathy. I will be unable to attend the service as I will be in the UK but please know I am thinking of the entire Vicker's clan. Love, Susanne
