I will dearly miss my wonderful Uncle Bob. He was such a fun-loving and caring uncle who gave so much more than he ever took or received. It is difficult to reconcile his loss to my family and most of all to his brother, Richard – my dad. He means so much to us. We will honor his memory.

Bob loved you and his family, you could see it in his face when he was talking about you. Bob was a kind and generous man. May the Lord give you comfort, peace and strength.
