It is hard to find the perfect words to describe a friend, it's even harder when that friend is your cousin. My cousin Bob was one of the nicest person one would ever want to know. My earliest memories of him included his faithful 4 legged friend Ben, a big ole sheepdog. I was quite young in those days, maybe 5 & I can still picture that big hairy thing. Another memory was his wedding to Edna, such a charming woman & they were such a beautiful pair. Other memories were at a family reunion at my parents house in Carteret,NJ & the annual July 4th BBQs at the Bridgewater abode. He will be sorely missed by many and prayers are offered to Edna & family for their loss. His brother Donald & I stay in touch as well (but not like Bob & I did by email) Thankfully, Edna has kept up that tradition by sharing some of the funny jokes,pictures & stories that linger out there in cyberspace. RIP dear cousin, till we have that Heavenly BBQ someday.

Bob was a very gentle, thoughtful and caring man. My neighbor of 38 years will be missed very much. Bob was always there to lend a hand or loan me a tool I didn't have!

Uncle Bob was such a wonderful man. Always cheerful and positive. I can never look at another Entemans and not think of him calling it "Breakfast Food". I love my Aunt Edna, I'm sorry I'm so far away and not there for you.
This is a very sad day for our family.
