Kim and family:



I hope you find comfort in the fact that your father is freed from his illness and will always be with you now wherever you go. He was an awesome man and always made me feel like I was part of your family. I'll miss him.

My heart and thoughts are with the Labbe family. Bob was such a good man with a heart of gold and a vibrant personality. My memories of him and his storytelling go back to the days when he and my dad worked nights at Star Market. When he visited, we were always guaranteed a laugh -- whether from a joke or one of his many anecdotes. His positive attitude, even when times were tough, is something that I will always admire. I also admire his commitment to maintaining and nurturing his friendships through the years. He was truly special.



With deepest sympathy, Andrea

Although I only met Bob and Ann on one visit; with my sister Sally; they were the kind of people that you felt that you had known them your entire life.As unexpected guests to their home; they were so hospitable and kind; and my heart goes out to Ann and her family.

Everyone who knew Bob will always remember his good natured heart, his love for his family, and of course his quick wit and joke telling. Bob was an inspiraton until the end. He valiantly fought Cancer for many years and through all of it his spirit and attitude never waivered. He was still the same guy who made you feel happy to be around him with his great stories and constant joke telling. As a nephew I can tell you he was one of a kind and will truly be missed by all who knew him.



Love,

Billy
