It was with a heavy heart that I learned of the passing of my brother Bob. My memories of him will always be special to me. There were many wonderful times growing up in Glen Rock
surrounded by our Mother, Father, brother, Richard, grandparents, and aunts and uncles. My thoughts are with his family, and may he Rest In Peace.

My friend Bob was a warm and loving man. He cared deeply about his wife and family. He was kind and never said no to me. He loved car racing and football. He was a man who believed in helping others. He will always be in my heart.
