We were so sorry to hear about Bob's passing.

He really was a great man and someone his family could always be proud of.

It was always great to see him at all of his grandsons ball games and was always there to congratulate my boys on their games played.

Sorry we didn't make the services but found out after teh fact.

Please accept out sincere condolences.

My sincere sympathy to you and your family, Aunt Eleanor and Jim, I sincerely know that Uncle Bob is in a better place and that he is basking in the glories of heaven. He was truly a hero to many and an inspiration to us all. A very strong and gentle man. God bless you and yours. Jannie

I am very sad to hear about the passing of Bob.

My family will agree with me when I say that he was one of the most stand up, respectable men we've ever had the honor and pleasure to know.

The world is a better place because of men like Bob Black -- and now heaven has one heck of an angel.

You just know he's up there helping and watching somebody play something!

Our thoughts are with you Eleanor and with the rest of the Black family. God bless you all.
