Not sure what to say?





It's been amost 3 months since you passed and I have just found out about it. It's a hit to the gut. We hung out a few times and kept in contact since my move a year ago. You were such an awesome person always making people laugh. You were taken away way too young. Rest in Peace dear friend. You will be sorely missed.

Bob was like a little brother to me. We always had a good time together, texting, talking or hanging out. He was a great guy, who went out of his way to help out his family and friends. He is gone too soon. That will be the hardest part, not being able to laugh or visit with him. He is in a better place. He is at peace. Someday we will be together again. Until then, you are in our thoughts, our prayers and our hearts. We will never forget our Bobby. Love, Laura, Connor, Ethan and Jimbo

I wrote in this guest book, but I don't think it was saved... Bob, I miss you like crazy. I guess you knew how much you meant to me. You were my little brother. I loved you so much and tried to protect you and save you from so much. I would've done anything for you and I wish I still had the chance to remind you of just that. You often didn't feel like you were special, but to me, you were always special, full of compassion and love. Many people didn't know you as much as I did, but I can say that you had the sweetest, most sincerest heart. I miss our daily conversations, even if it was in the wee hours of the morning-- you knew you could tell me anything... I loved the way you loved your nieces, my little girls. Katie will miss you terribly. She remembers your goofiness and I'll never forget how you could easily make us all laugh. Steve misses you just as much as me. He feels so much remorse over your loss. He loved you like a brother, not like a brother-in-law. We prayed for you often. Steve and I would've done anything to keep you here with us. We love you and miss you terribly. I know that one day we will meet again in Heaven, and until that day I will be homesick for you. I will love you always and never forget one thing about you for as long as I live.

Bob, I miss you like crazy. Nothing has sunk in yet to me really. You were my one and only brother. I feel like I spent half my life protecting you, keeping you safe and providing a shoulder to lean on. You were so special to me. I cannot describe in words exactly how I'm dealing with losing you, especially so suddenly... I wish I could hold you just one more time, but I know that we'll be reunited in Heaven one day and until then I will feel homesick for you. You often felt that you were nothing significant, but to me you were very special. I believe one of your main purposes here on earth was to show love and compassion to those who needed it-- and you did just that! I'm not going to be able to get over this easily, but was told take it one hour, one day, one week at a time, but that'll never bring you back, nor will I ever forget one thing about you. You will always be my baby brother, always... I love you and miss you like crazy!
