To Junior and his Mom -
I'm so sorry to hear that your Brother Bob has passed away so suddenly. He was a nice and friendly guy. I always enjoyed seeing his yard sale every weekend during the summer. His salesman spirit always made me smile. I also enjoyed the Christmas decorations he'd have on the porch - seeing the family get together for picnics in the backyard on the holidays. Your family and the closness you have is an enviable one for sure! Not everyone has that. I will see you in Manley's for coffee soon - and we can share the good memories of your precious Brother!

Ellie and family,
I was so sad to hear of Bob's passing. It's been a while since I last saw him, but I remember all of the times that he helped us out with Edna. He was always talking about how much he loved you all, and how proud he was of you. He was a wonderful neighbor to Edna and a good man to help us out. May you find some peace in knowing that he has touched so many people in his lifetime. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

So many things to say but your never qutie sure where to start, Bob you were a great husband, father, grandfather,son, brother, friend. So many things rapped up in one. You are greatly missed and will always be greatly missed, the coffee, the fishing, camping, having fun and making people laugh, We all know that you are up in heaven now making them laugh right alongside of dad, but I still would have loved to have you here just for a while longer. God has you in his house now making them laugh. I know you are no longer suffering and I know that you know I will always have you in my thoughts and prayers, in my heart and in my tears.. I miss you a bunch and I am sure you are aware of that. Like Nat said good luck with the fishing and just keep a spot for me right next to ya when I reach our heavenly home.. Miss and luv you very very much... your sister Ginny.

Very sad to hear about Bob. It's been a little while since I've seen him...he was always smiling and laughing though. He will be missed. My thoughts are with his wife Ellie, his children, mother Stella and all of his siblings.

Amen to a wonderful man who loved everyone as an equal. He was kind, generous, loving and very funny. I thank him for all of these wonderful qualities of which my son Dante' know posses. I knew Bob to be the kind of person who would give you the shirt off his back & always in good spirits. He always put other's 1st. Even before he passed he had mentioned to me how he still had things to do, places to go & grandchildren to raise. While we will all miss him dearly, we are comforted to know that he is safe in God's arms & doing all these things and more. I'm so glad to know that he is on our side of God's army. Until we meet again. Lots of Love to you all.

Bob was a very good husband to Ellie and granddad to Angel.He was also as close to a father as my son Nick,Angels husband,would ever have.Bob was always full of jokes and laughter.Even during hard times he seemed to be able to make light of it and keep on smiling.He will be missed by everyone who knew him or had any type of connection to him.He definatly was a man who could make you laugh with out even trying.We may have lost him in body but dont anyone think he isnt up there watching over every single person he knew.....that was just Bobs way.If he had it and you needed it ,it was yours.
Your going to be missed Bob don`t ever think you aren`t.The one fact I am sure of is he will definatly keep them laughing in Heaven.Hes home where he belongs now and able to take care of all of us in his own way.Have a good flight my friend, you wil be dearly missed.
