Dear Kitty and All the Wolfinger Family,
Please accept our sincere condolences on the death of your most special Bob. Our memories of Bob are those of fun, laughter and love of all. Most special are the memories of all the Christmas Eve's shared with us and our parents (Joe and Anne Golden) dating back to the 1970's. Bob will always hold a special place in our hearts! Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love, Jack and Dot

I can recall with envy that the Chief was usually the first to see the humor in the job and sometimes the only one with the courage to crack a smile. We'll miss you, Bob!

My prayers to his family.

I would like to extend my condolences to Kara and her family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Hello there Grammom and Grandpop!

We meet 8 years ago.

From the stories Kara told me, I have to say I was a little intimidated meeting you the first time. Once I was able to spend time with you, and hear the stories of your life, it made me realize how special you are and what an incredible life you have had. I remember hearing the stories of Rizzo, the Pope, and Mother Theresa, I remember me and Kara coming to your house and making Easter eggs with you, and who...

I would like to extend my condolences to your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Kitty, and all the Wolfinger Family,

And who had a more delightful laugh than Bob, Bob and I always enjoyed being in his company. He was a...
