Our sympathy to all of the Burklow family for their loss but I am sure he is in heaven with God.
We met Robert over 5-years ago when we went into Ace to get windows made. He was always a pleasure to work with and there was no one better at making windows than he and no job was to big or to small for him to handle. My wife and I enjoyed talking to him and bringing in coffee along with a glazed donut for him which always got a smile out of him! While waiting to check out this weekend I spoke with several people who knew him and all of them had the same remarks, he was always happy and smiling while delivering a screen repair or when he built a new window with pride in them being perfect the first time. He will truly be missed by all of us that had the opportunity to get to know him...God Rest your Soul Robert

I met Bob while working at Ace in New Lenox and I just want the family to know what a Dear Sweet man he was.
He was always so polite and caring with all he came in contact with..A man with a heart of Gold!
My condolences to the family he will be dearly missed. My heart is broken.
Love Mel.
