From the time you and I talked to the time we heard about Bob's passing, was no time at all. So sorry for all you, he and the family has gone through. He had humor built into his character and always had a smile on his face. You are in our thoughts!

Words cannot describe how sorry we are for this loss. You both welcomed our family into Springlake and treated us like family. When Naomi was little you treated her like she was your own and she still talks about working in the yard with Bob and Judy. She was so sad to hear of Bob´s passing, May God wrap his loving arms around you and the family during this time. He will provide you with comfort, strength and guidance for the days and weeks ahead.

it seems just like yesterday that Bob came to St Francis grade school from St Rose. He fit in with us Friars like a glove. What was not to like? honesty, integrity, so funny, ... he was the real deal. Awerkamp, Bender, Greifer, Hays, ... those were my go to guys. Sure, ... there were plenty of others but Bob stood out amongst them all. Did I say he was absolutely hilarious?! Sorry Bob, ... but even in your passing you continue to put a smile upon my face. I choose to remember you in this way for the rest of my time. Rest in Peace my friend, ... see you on the other side someday.
