Bye Bob, Peace of Christ
My brother and all your family,
We will keep all the memories in our hearts forever.
Bob, here is God's blessing -
May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your fields,
Until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
Love,
Your brother Fred and all his family.
Let us pray for each other.

Dear Bob,
To a wonderful brother, in-law, uncle, and friend. Your heart was as big as your laugh. Holidays and simple trips to camp will not be the same. Who would ever think they would want to hear "hey, what do you think? Do you think it will work? You watch over us from up there, and we take care of each other from down here. Love you and miss you
Cheryl, John and Amanda

I was very much saddened to hear of your loss. I know how hard it can be after all your years together to lose someone who is really the other half of you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you go throgh this time of mourning.
Please get in touch with me (at the old ph.#) if you get time. I don't know your new number.
Love,

Dear Bosh Family:
I am sorry to hear about the death of Bobby. I am friends with his sister Loretta and I remember him to be such a nice person. He was a good son and a good brother. He had a good sense of humor and he had a kindness in him that was not present in boys his age.
I see by all the letters written about Bobby that he was blessed by having a wonderful family that loved him very much. I see that his coworkers cared a great deal for him.
I know that you will miss this wonderful person. I hope that the loving memories you have of Bobby will help you in your sorrow. Bobby is blessed because he is part of your heart forever.
Love, Patsy Connolly

You have left a hurt in my heart that I don't think will ever heal.I pray that you know what you meant to so many people, there were so many caring people at your 'last negotiations'..I will miss your laugh, your smile, your sense of humor. Who will I harass about how many beers they had or what number helping they were on? We promise to take care of Mommy.You better be taking care of yourself better! Please send a sign once in a while and until we meet again......Good-bye Daddy........... Love Always, Loretta (and Mad-Maddie) XOXOXO

Pap Pap,
This has been by far one of the hardest things Ive ever been through.
You are one of the best, most caring people Ive ever met in my life.
You have made such an impact on all our lives, and always been there
for everyone. You have done so much for my mother, and I thank you so much for that. I will take good care of her, just how you would have wanted me to.
This will be hard, but I have been trying to just think about the good times that we've had together.
I love you so much, and I will miss you.
Love, Nichole

Mrs. Bosh, Lorretta, Cathy and Bob,
I am deeply sadden for your lost. Bosh was one of a kind. He teased and tormented you, but he had a heart of gold. As an AFSCME member for 26 years, with your Father as the Staff Rep most of those years, he was always there to help you with your problem. You have lost a good Husband and Father and I lost a good friend. Remember he will always be with you and you will never forget the great memories with him. My paryers are with you.

Daddy,
I miss you more than words can say! You were my Best Friend! I am lost without you! I promise to make you proud! I have been so blessed to have the BEST parents! My Parents were there for me all the time. Now, I am one short. The pain is over-whelming. "Mommy, I love you! I am always here for you. Please don't leave me, too." I know that I am selfish in wanting my Daddy back, but he made such an impact in my life. I thank God (and my Mom) for giving me such a loving Father, but I am mad that God took him away from me. I am told that I will forgive God, but the pain is sooooo GREAT! My Daddy will be greatly missed by me and my children.
"I LOVE YOU DADDY!"
Cathy
I LOVE YOU PAP-PAP!!!

I love you Pap-Pap,
Your' little Buddy, Kyle

I was blessed to have Bob as a friend,who as a loyal union representative,was a father figure and advocate for his friends and co-workers.He will be remembered as someone who put all his efforts into the right cause and as someone who wasn't afraid of earthly figures.(As seen by the photo,perhaps he had aid from a higher power!)He has taken his final journey,this time escorted by one of those higher beings,but he will be remembered and missed by all those he touched.

As a manager for the Commonwealth, Bob and I worked together on union issues affecting employes of the State Workers Ins Fund-Pittsburgh District Office. I always found Bob to be a strong advocate for his members. I'm saddened by his passing and my sympathies to his family.

Loretta-
I am so sorry for your loss. My deepest sympathies go out to you and your entire family. Times like these are so difficult and you need to surround yourself with family and friends and remember all the times you shared with your Dad. Keep in mind that he is in a better place and that he is always watching over you and your family. The day that I met your Dad I will never forget. His multi- colored car stacked with the Kerry supplies and him giving me all of that stuff- just in those few moments you could tell how big his heart was. Take it easy and I will talk to you soon.
