Bob’s good hearted generosity, his role model of family care, his sweet disposition and funny stories will carry us through the years to come. We’re so thankful we shared as much time as we did with Bob and Mary.
Both Bob and Mary are so special and have lived these last months with enviable grace that we recognize with admiration.
Bottom line is we’re better for knowing Bob, Mary, Rob, Mary, Rita & Stan and are forever grateful that our paths crossed. Our times at the lake were fun & we have so many precious memories.
Rest In Peace, dear Bob. We know your family will carry on your legacy.
