Bob, I periodically cross paths with your wife, Linda, while we walk our dogs in the park. After we exchange pleasantries about our health and the weather, we express our sadness at your absence. You are in our hearts and minds. Every day.
Dr Paul Haluska
P.S. I lost both Pepe (heart) and Dusty (cancer) the week before Christmas. Now they can walk with you.

Dear Linda and Family,
I am very sorry to read of the loss of Bob Downey. My husband Walt would have been the same age as Bob. I'm sure they may have played together as children at one time. Blessing to you all.

I will always remember Bob for his smile and kindness to me. The many walks with Hershey and his walking stick. He would stop along the way and we would just shoot the breeze and share stories about our lives. He was an inspiration to me and was always asking how I was doing after many of my surgeries.

Linda I am sorry to hear of Bob's passing he was the nicest person.God Bless you and your family.

March 22, 2019

Good bye dear friend. I'll always cherish the times spent walking our dogs in the woods near your home. My dogs still run up the hill looking for you sitting on the bench calmly reading your history books about WW2. Now that God has embraced your soul, may you rest in peace forever. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Linda, in this time of sorrow and transition.
