Bob was the Best Brother in law a girl could have. He was always so welcoming and kind. But most importantly he loved and was so wonderful to my parents. He was Always there to help them and took care of them, along with my sister, whenever I was not able to due to family circumstances. I am eternally grateful and thankful for our friendship. Always your SIL, Barbara
