I've wrote about Uncle Bob a lot since his passing and haven't been sure how to put it into words on here.
So in honor of the man of few words, I'll try to keep it short. He was "The Man". Not like you say in passing, but he was what a man could and should strive to be. Strong, successful, giving, positive, funny, and insightful. He had a love that I didn't understand until I was older. It was quiet but honest. One that was shared with a pat on the back or smile after a round of cards. I think of him often to keep me inspired. I didn't see Uncle Bob a lot in his last few years but I'm glad I'll have him with me the rest of mine.
I love you Uncle Bob.
I still keep you close.

- "Mr. 21"

Bob was my sister-in-laws husband, although I thought him as a brother. I have some great memories of times with Bob. Our Beach vacations at Ocean City Maryland. Wonderful times at Deep Creek Lake with skiing in the winter, and boating in the summer. Watching our children, the cousins, grow and play together.
You left us too soon, but I know we'll meet again.
In the meantime, I'll see you when I walk an ocean beach, or hear you yelling at a Nationals or Redskins game.
And whenever I hear Vince Gil sing,
Go Rest High on That Mountain, I'll probably choke back the tears, but you are pain free now, brother.
See you on the other side.
Oh and by the way, save me some crabs!

He was a great man. It's hard to believe he has been gone six months now. I will forever miss him but I know he is at peace and no longer suffering.
