Not sure what to say?

Of 9 uncles, Bob was my favorite. We spent time at church, fishing and he taught me to iceskate. He was a great storyteller. He was Godfather to my daughter. He is missed.

Although you are gone, you will always be a part of my heart and memories. You touched my life in ways that i never realized until i sat down and reflected on your passing how much you meant to me. you will be missed by not gone.

Mr. Woodside will always be fondly remembered as a truly remarkable man. I was fortunate to have him and his wonderful wife Florence as my youth directors as a child. The bonfires at his brothers and all the wonderful activities they made available to us in a time that most people did not avail themselves to youth work. He and Florence inspired my life and those of many others forever.

Uncle Bob will always be a big part of my life. My childhood is when I knew Uncle Bob . I will never forget his laundry tuck and it always had money laying around. Good times !!
What can I say, Michigan and Ypsilanti are my roots of family. I love you . I wish I could have spent more time with you , I ejoyed the times I had. Rest well

I Love You Uncle Bob and will always remember how you made me feel so special when ever I came to visit.

You will be missed alot and will live in my heart forever.

Oh the stories that have been told and shared over the years! My Grandfather, Nelson Woodside, was Bob's brother, and he always talked of his siblings. Uncle Bob seemed to be the quietest of the brothers; however, when he joined in, it was always with great wit! I will always remember Uncle Bob for taking me to U of M's Botanical Gardens after hours and learning so much, and for the great times at the Woodside pig roasts. He will be missed. Say, "Hi" to Pa for me okay Uncle Bob?
