We are so sorry for your loss.
Pops was such a great example of what a sold out Grandpa is! He was always so ready to drive the car pool, watch the kids,go to ball games, all because he loved you so much. His example will remain in my mind for a long, long time.
Ebay will not be the same without Bob! He loved an antique treasure!
Praying that" the peace that passes all understanding" will be yours today.

To Claudette, the Fishers and Lampmans, My fondest memories of Bob were at the volleyball games, he really was one of the Defenders and Palm Beach JRs biggest fans. We always knew how exciting the games were by how much was left in Bobs Oxygen tank. Not only did he know our girls but he would scout other teams and could tell you their stats as well. He hated to miss a game. One of the many examples of how much he cared for the girls was when he went out of his way to make a special poster for Katelyn that we still have in a scrapbook. He also made scrapbooks for both his grandaughters. He was always behind the scenes doing something for the girls, one year he bought them all warmup sweat shirts. He looked for ways to give, to his family and others. It is a blessing to see a family that big and close and they made the volleyball team feel a part of their family. Bob (Pop) had a special place in Katelyns heart and he was one of the only people that called her Babydoll and she liked it. He was a great man who lived life to the fullest, he will be missed. Blessings to his whole family.
