My sincere sympathies to the Hauser family...I'm sorry I never had the pleasure of knowing "Uncle Bob" but the photo of him alone shows how happy and a sweet guy he was. And his niece, Cheryl Weir, is the same type of person! Cheryl...I wish you and your family peace and love and am very sorry for your incredible loss. Keep those great memories and take some comfort in knowing he's now with your mom. My prayers are with you and your family. Much love...Sharon Tuz-Arcone

My family and I knew Bob from the Gun Club. I just had a nice conversation with him on Sunday. We will miss him. He was very fond of my children and my daughter cried when she heard the sad news. He always teased her by calling her Suzie when her name is Victoria....she will miss that. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
