Soo sorry for the loss of your dad. He truly meant the world to me and we have been getting together for lunch every year around Christmas time for the last few years and this year when I got my Christmas card back my heart was broken. At 16 years old I worked with him at Fone & Fax for a few years. He and Delores lived 2 minutes from my house I grew up in and after I got married and had my boys (now 14 & 16) I would send pictures and stop to visit when they were very little. He would come up at visit my husband and I at work too. Always chipper and "ornery" as he would say! Anyhow, HE WAS AN AMAZING MAN who loved his family more than life itself and talk about them constantly to me. He was one of my biggest fans and longest friendships. He will truly be missed. RIP BOB and I'm happy that you and Delores are together again because I know how you missed her. Xo

Out of the blue, I was thinking of your Dad. I was one of the first of three female technicians to be in the field at Michigan Bell's Roseville garage. Your Dad was so supportive of us and would offer encouragement, advice and support. He was a special man to me and gave me the guts to keep going in a very hostile work environment.RIP Bob

I was sad to hear of Bob's passing. He was a great Godfather to me and always made me feel special.

I will keep everyone in my prayers and I do plan to attend the Inurnment on October 19.

May he now meet your Mom again and both enjoy eternal peace.

Paul
