Bobby so sorry I didn’t know. I happen to see your brothers name pop up on FB. It’s been a long time. We had some good times in Forest Manor. My condolences to the family. Rip Bobby.

Charlie and I love and miss Bob so much and are constantly reminded of it many times throughout the year. We love the way we shared so many fun times with you and Bob. Whether it was fishing in Wisconsin, Festivals downtown, the annual dunes trip, Car shows, Columbus Day camping (with lady bugs and noseums bugs) Mexico and all our Florida trips, it was never dull that's for sure. Bob had a way of making me feel special and I appreciated it so much, a quick little comment that came so naturally made my day. Thanks Bob for being you. We love you.

Lori, I often think of Bob and I enjoy remembering all the times we shared with Bob and you. I can honestly say some of the best times in my life have been on vacations shared with you guys. Bob always woke up early while camping and when I would exit my trailer I would see that big smile flash and hear "Morning Sandy!" I love all the trips to Mexico and Florida that we took. Or our trips downtown and always getting lost. Bob would always be laughing about how we get lost and how Charlie was the one that always was the driver. I swear every thing we did with Bob and you ended with a smile and a story to remember. Whether it was Bob and Charlie drifting out to sea on inner tubes in Mexico, or getting off a bus in a seedy area of Puerto Vallarto, singing on the bus in the few Spanish words I knew. Fishing with Bob and him constantly giving me techniques to try because I wasn't catching any fish. The memories of Bob flood my mind when I allow myself to sit quitely. I love you Lori and I love and miss Bob.

I wanted to share a story with you that you may or may not have heard before. This is when U.B., Shawn, and I went to the Ozzy/Rob Zombie concert. We all met at Grandma and Grandpa's house on 173rd. We were taking U.B.'s awesome black truck to the concert. I had brought a mix tape with so that we could listen to some tunes as we drove. U.B. was driving, Shawn was in the passenger seat and I was in the back. Well, what I didn't know when making this mix tape is that the tape player had been acting up lately; A tape was stuck in the player. Well, you know Uncle Bob...that wasn't going to stop him. He hit it, stuck his fingers in to try to get the tape out, and turned the whole radio on and off. Did that stop him? NO! He had a screw driver in the truck that was going to get that tape out! So here he is at stop lights jamming a screw driver in the tape player, and when he was driving he handed the screw driver off to Shawn to try to get that tape out! Well, we actually never got the tape out, but it sure wasn't from a lack of trying. After the tape player looked a bit mangled U.B. laughed in that way he did and finally said maybe we ought to call it quits. Even though we didn't get the tape out, or maybe because we didn't, it turned into a very funny and distinct memory!
I love you Aunt Lori and miss Uncle Bob dearly.
