Our thoughts and prayers going out to your family during this difficult time. My father was the manager of the East Stroudsburg K-Mart when Bob worked there and although I'm only 20, I do remember him when I was little and I would see him on occassion in the store. My father said that he was a great worker and person to be around and I'm sure he was. Keep your memories alive and remember all the great times you had with him.

My dad was my best friend. Though not often enough, I always greatly enjoyed the times we spent together. My respect for Dad was tremendous. At my age, I still frequently called upon him for his wisdom! He was a good man. Yes, he was too young to die, but yes, he is in a better place. Bobby, we'll miss you...

Aunt Marcia, Doug, Duane & Denise, Uncle Bob will be sadly missed. I know now I will hold all the great memories I have of the years we were all blessed to have with him, more dear to my heart than ever before. The family get togethers at the house on North Courtland street, the picnic in Shawnee when he rode all the kids around the yard with the riding mower, the tiny two wheel bike, playing the base and not giving up the Mustang. Fond, fond memories that will keep him alive and well forever in all our hearts. God Bless

I will miss my dad dearly. He was the most "gentle man" I knew. He was kind and compassionate. He was too young to die, but I know he is with The Lord and he is no longer in pain.
I miss you, Daddy.
Love, Denise
