Deb and family,

I know that you'll miss him so much. He was such a great man and a role model dad for me. I'll always remember how he included me in so much when we were younger. I always just felt like part of the family. I remember how he made the back yard/porch into a place that we could all hang out. I loved the trips to parks, boating, camping, and the pit stop at the ice cream stand. I have so many terrific memories of him, and I'm going to miss him. I love you all, and you'll be in my prayers.

Take care

I know you are going to miss him. There was so much to miss. He was a giant. Growing up you would think they had 9 or more kids always taking a load of us camping, boating,etc.He had the patience to teach me how to water ski. It probabley took me 10 plus tries but he didn't give up on me. I have so many fond memories as do you all may they comfort us all. Gonna miss Mr. Berryhill(Bob). Love You all!

Sally and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have so many fond memories of you and Bob when we were neighbors in Apollo Beach. I cherish the times we spent together and getting to know your family. I will never forget the time my ducks got loose and Bob helped me catch them. Take care.
Love Patty
