I just now found out only because I was I was looking thru the obits. I don't receive the newspaper because they had no-one to deliver it. I will miss Bob, a.k.a. Turtle. I had quite a few conversations at the Elk with him and remember being over your house a few times. He will be missed by everyone who knew him, especially me.

No words can express how sorry I am of your loss. I have many fond memories of "cousin" Bob while neighbors at Silver Lake, of Bob repairing my car at the garage with your dad Rosie, of Bob being a bearer at my mother's funeral, as well as many, many other memories. God bless you, Jeannine, and may He grant Bob eternal rest.

You now have an angel watching over you. God bless you and may He grant eternal rest to Bob. Love, Sue (LaBreche) Bernier
