To all:
When I think of Bob I think of the grace and kindness that was always extended to me in the Prokopik home. If I arrived near meal time a place at the table was prepared, if it was a family gathering I was welcomed as one who belonged, and an ordinary day was made special by the warmth that was shared.
Thanks to all.

Dear Prokopik Family,
It was with a heavy heart to hear the news about Bob and this has brought me fond memories of him. I remembered him being the greatest dad to his children and husband to his dear wife, Ann, when they all hung out with my parents and other dear friends in the 60's and 70's. As a kid, I used to think that he looked like a world's greatest detective wearing a trench coat and a lit cigarette in his hand! He has made each individual out there feel important no matter how old they were. May his new life be celebrated in God's greatest care. He will always be remembered in our hearts. May God be with you always with much love,
Susan Lambert
