Bob was a great friend for 50+ years and his great sense of humor was always a comfort. He stood with me in 1964 as my Best Man at my first marriage an was a great comfort in 1999 when Helen passed away. Then in 2000, he stood with me as the Good Lord had led me to Karen, and my second marriage. He will truly be missed. May he rest in peace!

We rarely saw Bob without a smile on his dear face. And his big laugh could fill a room. He had so many witty sayings, wish we had written them down.
His love for his family and his gentle kindness made him a true gentleman. Unforgettable, he will be sorely missed.
We hope to help keep his memory alive for the 3 grandchildren we share.
Our sincere condolences and prayers for all who loved this uniquely good man.
Save us a spot in Heaven, Bob, cuz we want to laugh there too! We were blessed to have known you. The Other Grandparents - Bruce & Carmela
