Was very sad to hear the news. Every memory I have of "Big Bob", was Carmen on his side and big smile on his face. What a nice man he was. What a nice family he left behind. From my heart and Eriks, best to you all and thank you for the memories.

The nicest man. He never said a mean word. He was very respectable. I am very proud he was my childrens grandfather (Paul, Kelsey, Adam and Rachel) He was a very good man. We will all miss him. He is in heaven and he knows he is loved.
