Dear Family
Mr O'Neill will surly be missed. I have had the pleasure doing business with him for over 20 years.It was great to see him walk through the doors with Tom most of the time always with a joke first to warm you up. Bob was an old fashioned business man no ones business was to small for his special attention. May God Bless Him and help his family through their loss.

Uncle Rob was one of a kind. Generous, thoughtful, loyal to his family, and of course, always quick to laugh. He and Aunt Joan are a constant in my life, witness to every special event-happy and sad. He will be sorely missed. But his spirit and stories will live on in all of the extended family and I know his immediate family. terry

I hope those memories will offer all of you much comfort as you remember him and the great husband, father, and friend that he was to all.
