I helped to give care to Bob at the Mercy Franciscan Terrace up to the day prior to his death. We fondly called him "Grand Pa". He was fun to work with and be greatly missed!

I'll never forget Bob; no one ever will.
He helped everyone on Grove Court. He planted vegetables
which he did not even like and shared them with my mother
and other neighbors. I loved to sit on the porch with him
and hear his stories about WWII, growing up in Wyoming,
Wyoming High School and working as a delivery boy for
what is now the Wyoming Meat Market. He had so many
wonderful stories. He loved his family. Everyone
loved Bob. He was a great human being. He will be
greatly missed. Much love to his family,

Bob was a great neighbor for my entire life. He used to fix my bike when it was broken, let me pick blackberries with him in the backyard, and just sit on his front porch listening to the radio. Some of my fondest childhood memories involve Bob and the entire Zinser clan. He was very loved and will be missed.
