I was a good friend of Bob and Janice being a sales rep that called on him for 25 years. First meet him when I was 25. Now 72. We went on many Tarpon trips to Fla and Bass trips. My Dad was also good friend with Red. Been trying now for years to call him and just found this.
All I can say is I loved you Man. God Speed All The Best and glad to see your still in the Biz.

Dear Janice, Robert and Heather, Our hearts have been aching since the news of Bob's passing. We have cried, told "Bob" stories, and then cried again. We cannot imagine life without cousin Bob. We have so many memories from our vacations together, our visits to Richmond Hill, Jeff's wedding at Mt Washington, Nantucket (Bob loved saying he was the man from Nantucket), and of course cooking steaks on the porch at Sanibel where we got in troble from the fire department. We could go on and on with warm, loving memories. We were honored to have the love from Bob (even though we are Yankees)!! We will cherish our memories. We know that the love of family and your many friends will give you strenth during this time of sorry. Love, Billy and Judy

My uncle Bob was blessed to have my aunt Janice as a partner with the backbone of an entire army. He brighten her life with the lighter side of things. Janice and all that where lucky enough to enjoy his passion for fun and laughter should find the strength to share it unconditional with everyone they meet. You had a great ride uncle Bob. Enjoy the rest of your journey aunt Janice. The memories I have of you two are the ones little girls dream of.

These words can not express the numerous ways we will will miss you. You have been a friend, mentor, confidant and part of our family for so many years, I can't imagine not having you here or hearing from you every day: for advice, levity, support, a meal, etc.. Even though I know you are no longer struggling, I am selfish enough to wish you were still here. God bless you and your family and know that even though you are looking down on them from above, we are here for anything else they may need.
