Donna,
I just found out about Bobby from Chick Magnus. I had contacted Chicky about another mutual friend who passed recently, and he asked about Bob.
I can't express how hard this news has hit me. But I do want to send prayers and condolances. We were friends for many years, more than 40, but it seems I've lost contact with too many old friends; Again my deepest sympathy to you and your family.

Please accept my deepest heartfelt sympathy regarding Bobby's passing, when it hits close to home like this, one of the Westwood kids, growing up back in the day it makes you take pause. Bobby never had a bad day, always a smile on his face and twinkle in his eye. A friend to all!
God Bless The Gielarowski Family

Bob will be truly missed and i have no doubt he is keeping very busy in heaven. He never wasted a minute not having a wonderful moment with friends, family and hobbies.

We are so so sorry to hear this news. We
have not been to a meeting for several months and the last time we saw Bob he was fine and had not been diagnosed, so it was dis-heartning when we first heard the news.I enjoyed talking with Bob after our meetings.Looking forward to see you at the funeral home.
