I will always remember you Bob, for your kind and generous ways. Your bright intelligence and dedication to work gave you the chance to share your success with many. You were devoted to bringing smiles, to our faces. You were my Dad's best friend. I can't ever thank you enough for the joy you brought to him and our family. My life is better because you were in it. Thanks for touching my life for the last 55 years Bob. I have memories that will last a lifetime. Your light will continue to shine in my heart forever. Rest in God's arms, for you are home now. Until we meet again...💞
