Uncle Bob was a wonderful man and enjoyed by all, one of the biggest supporters of my military career and followed me across the country just to say hi and show his support that meant alot to me. He was the true definition of strength, love and happiness and I will miss being able to call and hear his witty voice and crack jokes at me. Knowing him has brought joy to my life and he will surely be missed. So sorry Aunt Sandy we love you!

Bob was known sometimes as a wise cracking curmudgeon to family and friends . He always had good give and take attitude about every aspect of life. He was known by my nieces and nephews as a very caring "uncle Bob". He wanted each of them to excell in whatever their dreams were and to give kind and appropriate advice. He will be missed by all of them. Our love for each other allowed for peace in my heart and joy for decades.
