Dear Kerry, Kelly, Susan & Stacy,
You are always in my Prayers but I am sending an extra one today. I know the pain and sadness one feels with the loss of someone we love so dearly. It is easier as time passes but never forgotten we begin to let go and let God take our pain but not our memories. Please know I am here for you. I loved your father very much... Love Kathy Burill

You'll be missed Uncle Bob. It's been a while but I still remember some of the great conversations we had when we were working on the Prep school in Litchfield. You were a great guy :)

Sorry to hear of Bobs passing. He was truly a man of outstanding character. Had the pleasure of serving with him at Westover AFB in Mass. Many times we rode together to drill. Recalled to Desert Storm along with MSgt O'Dell in 1989. He was well liked by all members of the 59 Aireal Port Sq. He was very much dedicated to the United States Air Force. He preformed his duties in an outstanding matter. May he rest in Peace. MSgt James V. DiVita
