Leslee,
God's grace is truly amazing. It has the power to bless and heal, to strengthen and lead us. That's why, at the loss of your father, so many people who care about you are praying that each day you will be upheld by grace and surrounded by God's eternal love. Know that I am one of those people. God Bless You! Love and Prayers,

I was so sad to find out Bob had passed away. What a great guy. He was such a good friend to my family, especially my Mom and Dad. He will be missed and the Memorial Day parade will not be the same without him. He and Dad will still be there in spirit.

I was truly saddened by the news of Bob's death this morning. What a great man! I always enjoyed our visits, especially at his home, the church, the KofC, and TCC games. He was always a great fan and supporter. He was a strong supporter of all the activities around St. Mary's Alumni, IC Dennison, TCC and the Knights of Columbus. I will miss him. Be assured of my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Got to know Bob, Robert as we came to call him,at the many many Saints sports events of his grandchildren, Beau and Brooke, and my granddaughter Maggie. He kept us laughing with his comments. He could say it. Came to love him and his son Bobo's family as well. He will be missed by the Dominick family. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord and let the perpetual light shine upon him. Our sympathy to all of his family.
