Bobby, Jimmy, Debi and family: We are so sorry to hear of Uncle Bob´s passing. Many great memories of growing up with Uncle Bob as one of my favorite Uncles. Always enjoyed all the stories he would share with me over the years. All the jokes he would tell me, and I would laugh every time. I remember one time as a young girl being sick in bed, Uncle Bob came up to my room a tired to teach me how to count money. I just wasn´t getting the hang of it, he was so frustrated with me he went out of my room and downstairs and I didn´t see him the rest of the day. Even though I haven´t seen him in a few years, not a day would go by he wouldn´t come up in a conversation. Remembering the good old days!! I know Uncle Bob was greeted by Aunt Leona and his siblings. May your memories bring you all peace and comfort in this tough time. Hugs always

"A soldier from the greatest generation has passed away today." Bob, you are now relieved from your post. A job well done fellow war veteran. The final battle is now over and peace has been restored. America thanks you for your service to our country in the defense of freedom. The final bugle has sounded and taps is about to sound ending a successful career as a nation´s defender. Farewell fellow veteran.
