Thank you Bob for bringing so much joy and love into our lives. You have touched each and everyone of us in a special way we will never forget.
Bob you were the best mentor anyone could ask for. I miss you dearly, my friend. May you rest in peace and always remain in our thoughts and prayers.
You are now with God and his Angels looking down on everyone you loved and cared about deeply. You were a good person with a loving heart! You made my sister very happy for a very long time and I thank you for that! You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. R.I.P brother-in-law!
