Hi to all Bobs family! I hope you remember me. I lived right next door to Bob. Just to let you know, I think of him quite often and miss him so much. My husband Abe passed away 2 years ago on the 13th of this month and he and Bob would stand outside for hours and talk. You all are in my thoughts and prayers! He may be gone but remains in our hearts and thoughts forever!
Sincerely, Louise Hash

With all my sympathy to you, I will fondly remember Bob. His energy level is unsurpassed by anyone I know. He worked hard and played hard and had fun no matter what. Music and dancing encompassed all. He was my mother's long-term boyfriend and her favorite dance partner. I am so happy they found each other in the latter part of their lives. With our loss, Heaven is surely a happier place upon Bob's arrival.
RIP, Bob

Our sympathy on the loss of Bob. Sending prayers to the entire family. We have a lot of great memories of him, I hope that comforts you to know that. We always remember him as a kind, thoughtful man. He went out of his way to help so many people and left a great legacy. He was a caring loving friend to Helen and our family that John and I always appreciated. I’m sure he is dressed to the max and dancing a polka already in Heaven and his dance card is full. With caring thoughts and sympathy.

My deepest sympathy in the loss of your father and grandfather. He was such a wonderful friend and neighbor. I have many fond memories of my conversations with him. He was my neighbor and I could not have asked for a better friend. He will be missed dearly. Nothing would keep him down, he was always out working in his yard which he took so much pride in. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers!
