Julia, Katherine and Tom,
Bob always beamed when he spoke of all of you and know that his love and pride will always watch over you.
There was no one on this earth like Bob. He was a true friend, a loving, kind and helpful friend who always added a special touch wherever he was.
Bob, we love you, we will miss you and may you alway be at peace. May your fabulous, wry wit and sense of humor be with you always as it will forever be remembered by those who knew you.
Our prayers are with you all,
The Weinbrenner Family et al,
Nancy, Mary, Joan, Edy and all who knew you.

Will and I are so sorry to learn of Bob's death. As a child, Will was at camp with Bob, and I grew up with the Starkweather family as my father, Bob Stockton, and Bob's dad, Rodney, were close childhood friends. We send our deepest sympathy to Julia and her children.
