We will miss you Uncle Bob. We always looked forward to seeing you when you came to Lancaster. The last time we saw each other was at Dad's (Shimpy) funeral. We last talk to you when Kimmy passed away in 2017. You were a great godfather to the both of us. You were there the day my parents were married as their Bestman. We always had a great time when you would visit us. Now you are together with all your love ones. My sympathies to your family still remaining. Your loving goddaughter.
