Bob, I miss you already. You were a great friend and mentor. I will always remember you.
Cindy, Kelley, & Dillon,
We were all very lucky to be a part of Bob’s life. He loved you all dearly, always remember that! I know that his spirit is watching over us all at this time. I am so glad we got to see him this past Feb.
Take care.

I am praying for you and your family and think of you often. Although I did not know him personally, your father sounded like an amazing man! He is now happy and healthy in heaven. Hang in there!

I am still in shock to loose such a wonderful part of our family. Your smile and courage will always be remembered by us. You endured so much with your health and yet you never complained. Our heart will always have you there. I remember the little things also- rum punches, salmon dinners and the jokes. We will always love you.

Kelley,Dillon and Cindy,
I’m so sorry for your loss. Kel, your Daddy was so sweet and kind, and I will always remember him on St Patty’s Day. He made the BEST corned beef I ever had!
I love you all and may God comfort you in this temporary time of separation.

Daddy,
There are no words to describe how much I love you and how very much I will miss you. You were a truly wonderful man, and you were my hero! You met every challenge with such a wonderful attitude, and it gives me comfort to know that you are whole again, and are looking out for us. I will hold you in my heart until I get to see you again.
With all my love,
Kelley
