It's so hard to even think about you (Mr. Uhlig) not being with us anymore. You were such an amazing person who would give the shirt off your back to a complete stranger. I have so many fond memories of you and Mrs. Uhlig, when we were neighbors in Nineveh and in the apartment in the city as well. I know I didn't keep in touch as much as I should have but I loved you very much and I will never forget you. XOXO.

"Bob" will be greatly missed. He touched and influenced many lives with his dedication to Scouting in the Harpursville area, including my son's. Thank you for the time spent "making a real difference".

Dear family of Bob Uhlig,
I have know the Uhlig family through out many years even up to today. Marcia has let us know of her Uncle Bob's death. Now to find it on the computer is good also. The children will be a big help to you, Hilda. I remember fondly of the farm in Harpurville before any of you were married when Herb met Alta. Now he too can say 'hello' to his parents and brother. What a glad reunion!
God bless you all.
We send love and prayers,
Ben and Eleanore Gloeckler
