Aunt Nancy, I'm so sad to hear that Uncle Bob passed away. I will truly miss him. He was so unique in his own ways. I will miss him at family get togethers. He always brought something different to the table so to speak and it was a wonderful thing. Know deep in your heart that everyone in our family thoroughly enjoyed his company :) Please take care Aunt Nancy and know that Uncle Bob is in a very good place right now. Love, Kris and Leigha

Nancy,
I am so sorry for your loss. I'm reminded of the time we went to Crandon and stayed in that cabin for the week. When I found a tick on my leg you and mom vacuumed the entire cabin! May you find peace and comfort in all your good memories of you and Bob

To Roberts family ~ I visited Robert many times with my Therapy dog Manny. I loved my visits with him and I miss him. He always had a smile and loved Manny! I enjoyed all our talks about his life and growing up in Barbaboo and his love for his wife Nancy and Volfie of course! He was a dear sweet man. I was glad I was able to enjoy a glass of Baileys with him at Christmas time (I even brought in the old fashioned bar glasses, he thought that was pretty cool!). Manny and I were able to say Goodbye the night before he passed and he was able to touch Mannys paw and fur one last time. So sorry for your loss. It was a pleasure meeting him.
Sincerely,
Therese and Manny
