You will be dearly missed and I am very glad that I did get to know you in the years you lived here in Michigan. I will never forget the hours of Nintendo that we used to play and how you had your "special" controller because of your hand injury. I have nothing but fond memories of you and they will live on forever. What happened was a tragedy, but I know you are resting peacefully with your mom, sister, and brother. You were a very talented man and my second son, Brenden, is now enjoying the footstool you made. Your legacy will never die and you touched many people. You were a wonderful father. I remember how involved you were in Cub Scouts and how you were there to cheer on your kids at any event they were involved in. Eric has turned out to be a good husband and soon to be father. Julie has evolved into a beautiful person inside and out. Until we meet again Uncle Bobby, as I called you as a little girl...I love you always!! Your neice -Kandace
