Aunt Judy,Lisa,Bobby,
Uncle Bob was a great man and I will deeply miss him. I will cherish all of the fun times that we have had over the years. I am so lucky to have a piece of his great craftsmanship when he made me a pair of wooden Florida Panthers hockey sticks. He is the strongest man I know.
Love,
Eric
