Uncle Bob will be dearly missed by many.He was blessed with a wonderful wife, my Aunt Ann. He lived a long life and his journey was a challenge at times, but he overcame these and made the best of life! May he rest in peace with his other family and friends who have passed.

Uncle Bob was such a gifted artist, his art adorns many family members walls. He spent his life on crutches but his handicap was never an issue only something to deal with. Uncle Bob rest in peace.

My sweet Uncle Bob, I loved you so much. I am honored to call you my Uncle. I am so sad.. Love my sweet Uncle Bob. He did so very much for me in my life. He was there for me when frankly he shouldn't have been. But he and Aunt Ann went out of there way at times. One of my favorite things was: I would call him and he would answer and I'd say Hi Uncle Bob its Laura, and he'd say Hi Uncle Laura. Id ask him why he said that and he would say.. Well, you called me Uncle... makes me smile every time I think of that.
