So many great memories of Bob from "TOPS" at St Mary's and GI Methodist Church. We didn't lose any weight but we had more laughs than I could count. I am so sorry for your loss......he was a great man!

Yaya, Donna,Debbie and Lori, I'm so sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories of Uncle Bob, him teaching me how to ski in the back of Lansingburgh High School without my poles lol. Going to whiteface mountain with him, Lori and Kent skiing down once and saying okay we're done... Then camping when I was little in your first camper, he is a great man and heaven now has a shining star. God Bless.

Donna, Debbie and Lori:
I am so sad to hear of your Dad´s passing. I have some great memories of him, camping in South Carolina and the many car rides home at night. He was one of the kindest men. I feel very fortunate to have known "Spike"
Gardner.
I hope the many happy family memories you have help bring you comfort in the days ahead.
Sincerely Donna

Donna,
What a great man we have lost. "Bert" was one of a kind and was always there for us. Always a smile and his laugh was the best. My deepest sympathy to you.

I wish to convey my sincere sympathy to Elinor, Donna, Debbie and Lori for their recent loss. I`ve had the pleasure and honor to have known Bob for over 45 years. We`ve shared many good times and hardy laughs together while working for Niagara Mohawk, playing golf and rooming together or sharing a "Let it Ride" table at various casino`s! He will be missed for sure by this friend. RIP my friend, and God Bless! See you on the other side

Every time I saw Bob he had this grin on his face, then he would poke fun of me and we both would crack up. He had the greatest sense of humor. That´s how I will always remember him, with that grin on his face. I feel honored to have known him and will miss him.
