Bob was a classmate of mine for a few years at St. Kieran's in Lawrenceville. He had a great sense of humor. I saw him at our Central Catholic 25th and 50th reunions and we reminisced about the early days. Few people know that his nickname was "Moe".
Rest in peace Moe!!

Dee, Kelly, Bobby, and Kari. So sorry to hear about Bob. He was a great guy and will be missed for sure. I know from experience how hard it is to watch a loved one suffer but now he is at peace.

Dear Daddy, Thank you for everything you have done for me ,Cori and Russ. Words cannot describe my gratitude and deep love I have for eternity. I miss you terribly. I want to hear your voice and get your text telling me Luv You every morning. Thank you for fighting hard I know how hard it was for you. I just hope I was able to make these past few months easier for you. You were such a fabulous dad, you really were. I know I was bad growing up but I also know how proud you were of me. I don't want to let go or say goodbye. Right now I dont know how to go on without you. But hearing your voice saying hey jagoff everything will work out puts a smile and a tear on my face. Oh Daddy Im so sorry this happened to you. I love you so very much. I hope you are with Jesus and safe. Your Ever Loving Daughter
