    My Heart is very sad in the lost of a good friend. My greatest sympathies to Edna and all the families. My thoughts and Prayers are with you now and on Saturday when you say good bye for now. I will always remember Bob’s great humor, his going bare foot and his chewing tobacco. Great memories.

    Love you all, Orpha Lou

    Uncle Bob was one of a kind. I remember good times at Poordo with him, John, and Mark. He was truly blessed to be surrounded by so many loved ones, especially Aunt Edna. My wife Lela and I share your in your loss but we know that the best is yet to come when Bob enters into our Lord’s realm where Mark is sure to be waiting.

    Rest in Peace Uncle Bob. You are gonna make one heck of an angel. Thank you for all the memories and stories growing up. Thanks for your true goodness and for always maintaining a loving, kind connection with my dad, Paulie. I learned much about being a brother from your friendship with dad. Much love to Edna, John, Lori, Marla and Keith. Even though growing up separates us, you all remain dear to me and I love you. I’m sorry for your pain, and I am thinking about you. - Love Petey

    Sorry for your loss, Bob was a great guy, very happy-go-lucky. I remember when we went camping with him and Edna, I always had a good time. He will be dearly missed. My condolences to Enda, John, Lori, Marla, Keith, and the rest of the family.

    Love,
