Carol, Laura, Cindy, Gary, Alec, Courtney, and Aaron, When I think of Bob these words come to mind: Caring, thoughtful, funny, nice, helpful, loyal, wonderful husband, caring father whose family means the world to him. He was so very proud of you CArol, and his kids and grandkids, you could see it in his eyes. I feel blessed for having known Bob, and his family. My heart goes out to all you. May the support of your faith, friends and family help you to find some peace, as you find some comfort in your memories of all the special times you spent together.
