Dear Bobbie and family, I know how it feels to feel both sadness and relief at the same time but if it helps at all, these are the times when "everything happens for a reason" really rings true. Bob is at peace now and watches over you...he was a very good man who is free from pain. Sincerely, Ann Hamilton

Bobbie, Kilie and Jessi,
I remember Jessi and I always playing when we were kids, and when it was time for dinner or time for Jessi to go home, anyone in the neighborhood could hear him call out Jessi’s name…. He sure did have a set of lungs on him!
I remember going out to get ice cream… a lot… during the summer times.
I remember eating Sunday brunches that he prepared… and boy was he a good cook!
I remember him taking Jessi and I to get movies at the movie shop in Elbridge.
I remember so much, but what I remember most was the fact that he didn’t just treat me like one of Jessi’s friends, he treated me like I was his third daughter! He even disciplined me! Ha!
I always had a blast having him around when Jessi and I were kids; he was definitely the father I always wanted!
I would like you to accept my deepest sympathy for your loss.

Bobbi and Family,

Although I didn't see Bob much at all, he was never out of mind. Bob was such a great guy and truly loved his profession, driving bus.

I will always remember working with Bob in Skaneateles, he always made work fun and he had a great sense of humor.

Please accept our deepest sympathy for your loss.

Bobbie and Family.. I can still see Bob walking up the street (to the corner) with that little bounce in his step and that big smerk on his face. He was always so much fun to be around...Was such a great man and will be sadly missed...
God needed another angel, and boy did he get the best ever!!
Thinking of all of you..
Louie, Sue and Skinner too...(he loved our black lab)

My memory of Butch (as we always called him when we were kids) is back on the farm on Division Street. We spent many extended visits there and he was like another brother to me.

My only regret is that we did not spend more time together as adults. Both Carol and I want to express our sorrow at his passing and our ongoing love for all you.

Bobbie, Jessi, Kilie, and Jean, we love you and hope that we get to see more of you in the coming years. When you have a chance, we would love to get email from each of you. If you should ever be in Rochester there is always room for you to stay here.

The pain in the hearts of one's survivors is a measure of one' s greatness.

Robert was my bus driver. We called him Bob. He was funny and nice. I will really miss him a lot. He was like family.

Bobbie & Family
I was deeply saddened today to learn of Bob's passing. Bob has been a great friend of mine for many years, as you all know. To have known him and shared great times with him is something I will ALWAYS treasure. I can only take comfort in the fact that he is no longer suffering. Take comfort in the family & friends you have around you during this difficult time.
Goodbye Bob...I will NEVER forget you. Rest In Peace, my Friend.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
