My Daddy was the greatest man I've ever known. He loved my Mom and I unconditionally. I miss him so much. He was a hard worker and always put us before anyone or anything. Everything he did was for us. If you knew my Daddy you loved him. He will be forever missed. The saying gone but never forgotten couldn't apply more. I love you Dad. Forever and Always.

I'll always remember his huge smile and his laughing till tears streamed down his cheeks with his playful jokes and antics. Memories of holidays & family gatherings will always warm my heart. Grandma has her yuker partner back again. Grandma gave him the gift of her love for plants & flowers, (roses especially), and he blossomed that gift into enjoying the art of landscaping and he took great pride in it around his home.

Our Thoughts and prayers are with Diana & Holly, and also with his families of brothers, Walt (dad), Uncles Ray, Dick and Larry and "Jeanie". May God Bless you all and take comfort knowing that each teardrop is a step for Bobby on his stairway to heaven.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Bobby was a fun loving man. I remember him from a very early age and I always adored him, mainly for the reasons of a child...he always made me laugh. That's how I will always remember him. Diane, please take care of yourself now, that's what Bobby would have wanted.

Memories of Bobby "Fritz" are of a young man that worked from sun up to sun down at an early age. Washing dishes and other various jobs at Hall's. There was nothing in the world that Bea or Jeannie could want that Bobby did not spend his paycheck to provide. To make a Christmas special, Bobby bought Larry his first new Bicycle, Blue Schwinn Corvette, just to see the smile and pride in his little brothers face. Bobby, you have touched many lives in your short time here on earth, but you left many friends in your wake. May God welcome you into His kingdom with open arms. Family members that have gone before you will rejoyce with your arrival. Condolences to Walter, Dicky, Larry and Jeannie as well as wife and children.
