Dear Wilbur Family, We are so very sorry for your loss and we hope you will find comfort in your memories.
Although we had lost contact we would often reminisce about the friends in Schorsch Village. Bob was lively and always great fun to be with. Tom, John and Bob would go to the carnival how they loved the rides. They surely enjoyed those bike rides and soft ball in Shabbona Park. Many memories of good times past.
God Bless You,
Bob,Louise,Mary,Tom and John

Delores is a workout buddy of mine at Curves and I know how much she loved Bob, his wife and Sara. We used to talk about recovery together. She was so proud of him. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Julie and Sarah, may God put his arms around you to comfort you in this time of grief. Bob was such a good friend to Greg and I. He always knew just when to laugh, which was all the time. I hope to keep that in mind as part of his legecy. Enjoy life, love others, dont take things too personally, and have fun. Thanks Bobby

I met Bob in April of 97, while residing at the Beacon House. From that day forward, he has been an awesome friend and a remarkable example for me... always keeping it simple and having a good time... no matter what.
Thanks Bob.
