Still in shock. He was my buddy, my accountant, my breakfast club friend, my closest advisor and he played a mean First Base. I was amazed at how good an athlete he was - but an even better person. I spoke with him just before he went into the hospital. He looked tired, but still smiled and laughed. Loved to hear and tell jokes. I will miss him forever.

Bob was in my life for most of it. He was a kind man that always treated me like family. When you were over his house or at a family get together you could always guarantee hearing a new joke! He will be greatly missed but I'm sure my father and Bob will be swapping jokes and keeping an eye on us from above. Rest in piece.

August 17, 2017

I will miss the laughter the jokes and your wonderful being.
With Love
