Lynn, Steve, Chris,Tim and all the Rossman "kids" (Tommy, Patti, Sue and Pam),

We send you all our sincerest sympathy. I will always remember Bob as a strong and hard working man. It is hard to realize he is gone. My Mom had only recently told me he was in the hospital. Know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers. We especially send our love to the Bearups. I loved the picture of Bob holding Max, with a proud smile on his face.

My heart aches writing this. I am so sorry for your loss. My Parents were always so fond of Bob and Kay. They were always there for my Mom when she needed them. From the time when Dorene was a little girl, I can still here the stories of her watching Patty on Walter St. Bob was a wonderful Husband/Father and Friend. May you find Comfort knowing he is resting in peace. Cherish all the memories you have and always love one another as your Parents have taught you. May God Bless you all in your time of need.
