Bob our wonderful friend and cousin. We will miss you and all the fun times we've had over the years, especially all our cruises. Our cousins reunions will not be the same without you. We know you are at peace and will keep your spirit alive as we gather each year in Tahoe.

Dear Elaine and Family,
Our hearts and prayers go out to all of you. Bob was a special friend and we remember all the wonderful times we had on the many cruises together.
Unfortunately we will not be able to celebrate his wonderful life on this Sat. as Marty has had several big
skin cancers removed recently and it
will be hard for us to come.
Our love and prayers,
Marty and Dolly Roberts
