Dear Bob,
I smile every time I see someone in a scooter. I think of you and your headlights in your horn and especially your Mercedes logo. You are one of the best and I will never forget our friendship. Miss you, my friend.

Dear Bob,
You were always the life of the party. I, so remember your Mercedes scooter with the horn on it. That made our trips to the senior centers, most enjoyable for all of us. You are not forgotten. Rest easy my friend.

Bob, I have such fond memories of you. We would go to housing for the elderly and give our big speeches about safe driving. And you and your Mercedes motorized wheelchair flashing your lights and beeping your horn. They loved your one man show. Please know you are dearly missed. I hope you are resting in eternal peace.

Dear Bob, you and I worked well together. The elders loved your Mercedes wheelchair equipped with lights and horn. You will be sorely missed. Thank you for your service to our country and to the disabled. We had great times Bob and you made work fun. Have a safe journey and rest well as you are carried home in the palm of God's hand. Barbara, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
