I wish that I could be there to mourn and celebrate the life a great person and friend but can not be. I share in the lost of truly loving person, but I am honored to celebrate his life as a trusted friend and person which is unequalled. Shirley and boys, he was a super husband and a fine Dad. I an honored to celebrate his life with joy and happiness. To the Arruda Family, may God and his prayers accompany during this time. Love Jim

I am sorry for your loss. It is always hard to lose a loved one in death. Our heavenly Father is very aware and understands the pain you feel. He will give you comfort. (Psalms 86:6,7) Your family has my deepest sympathy.

My thought and prayers are with your family. While I only knew Bob
and your family for a short time, there is a spot on my heart for all of you. Bob was a fighter and stubborn as ever. I had the pleasure to help care for him and I am thankful for the care that your family showed for me in your times of struggle. Thank you for allowing me to be a friend to you all.
