We are sorry to hear about Uncle Bob. We haven't seen him since his brother Benny had died. We send our sympathies to everyone and hope that you will have fond memories of him.

I was sorry to hear of your dad's passing. He was a true democrat and always willing to help. He would come to my house every year to hand deliver his donation and each time would tell me a little about himself. I enjoyed talking with your dad. I know all of you will miss him dearly; however, he is at peace now. My deepest sympathy goes out to all of you during this very trying time.

God Bless.

I only knew Bob briefly but he was a nice man and fun to fish with.

Dear Eileen and family,

My sincere condolences to you and your family upon the passing of Bob. We were classmates and graduated together. The last time I saw Bob was at our 50th. reunion at Nevillewood.

May our Lord bless each of you in the difficult days ahead.

Bob was a wonderful man, a good friend to our family, and probably the greatest neighbor in the whole world. He will be sorely missed.
