Being the only sister I was blessed with 2 brothers and now one is gone which leaves a hole in my heart. Bob was 9 years older than me and was our mothers favorite and now he is with her again.Even though we lived miles apart he was always in my thoughts and prayers. He will be sadly missed by me and his nieces and nephews. My children Heather, Scott and Corey and their family along with his niece Catie who was also his Godchild. Rest in peace Bob. Your sister Marcia

I and my entire family were saddened to hear about the death of my brother, Bob. My wife Debbie, our daughters Kimberly Usowski, and Michelle Rupert and her three sons did not know Bob well but they understood how important family is. The appreciated and valued our Polish heritage. Kimberly is very proud to carry on the Usowski name. I feel very fortunate to have had a relaxed and enjoyable breakfast with my brother just four weeks ago. He shared with me some of his childhood memories. He was a boy scout, an altar boy, and active in competitive sports. He also told me about what life was like during the early years when he and our father worked at the same factory. I admire him for what he had to endure at the plant for over 40 years. Bob, my sister Marcia, and I, for much of our adult years, lived in different parts of the country. But the bond that unites siblings knows no boundaries. May God bless you Brother.
