Can’t help but feel a part of me is missing. What a terrible loss for those of us left behind. Too many memories to mention. The best of them were just sitting and talking. I will miss those conversations. I can remember him always taking time for me and having so much patience with me when I was a kid. He always made me laugh. What a gift, such good memories.
Dear Priscilla and Shana, so sorry to hear about your husband and father passing away. You know you both are in our thoughts and prayers. We love you both. Take care of each other.
I am very sorry for your loss. I am Bobs first cousin. Me and my brothers grew up together with Bob and his family. Lot’s and lot’s of great memories. I thought of Bob often. Take care, we are thinking of you and the family in this difficult time.

I had the pleasure of visiting him with my wife, Jackie Kallay Rowe. We talked, we laughed, drank coffee that he insisted on making. Would have liked to have known him better. My deepest sympathy to the whole family.
