You were so funny and sweet Bob. I’m so sorry you are gone and that it took me until now to find out. May your memory be a blessing to all who loved you and to the multitudes you made laugh. Rest In Peace.

My heart goes out to all of you- I can say I had the privilege and honor of meeting Bobby thru my very good friend, Noemi! He was the sweetest guy and had the biggest heart! I was truly blessed to meet such a person. His smile is the one thing I will never forget! May God give each and every one of you the strength to get thru this trying time. Noemi & Karina, we love you and we are all here for you!!!

To the family of Bob Burns my deepest sympathy. He was a man of great integrity. I worked with Bob for the better part of three years when he was with Standard Register and his main account was United Airlines. We were a very demanding client and his calm demeanor, even through the toughest of times always amazed me.
I hope he smiles down on all of us.

I only had the honor of meeting Bob a couple of times when I worked with him at FedEx Kinko's but he was truly a man of integrity and bravery and had a love and zest for life that was infectious. I will miss him and remember him always.

Jimmy and Michael, I am so sorry at the loss of Bobby. Watching you all grow up and closeness of our families makes this our loss too. I am sorry I can't be up there. It was so wonderful that I got to see you both at my dad's funeral just a month ago. Please give my condolences to his wife and daughter also. I never got to meet them. You can explain who I am better than I can I am sure. The Breier clan loves you all...

Jim and Mike- I regret that I cannot make it this week to express my condolences in person. A brother's love will never be forgotten and my words can never express how sorry I am for your loss. Reading this guest book is a testiment to how much Bob filled others lives with happiness and joy. My condolences to you both, Noemi and Karina- May God bless you all.

Bob, I'm gonna miss you buddy! Whenever I think of you, I always remember us laughing! We'd laugh til we were nearly crying. We'd laugh about work, laugh about life and laugh about about how bad we both golfed. Gosh I remember the time we were at Cog Hil golfing and laughing so hard we tipped over our golf cart. I still contend the beer we had stashed in our golf bags, put the cart off balance. I'll keep laughing for you. See you on the back 9. Have a cold one waiting for me.

I had the pleasure of being Bobs help desk person (I am not help desk) while he was at FedEx Kinko's and he never failed to make me laugh. Through his many computer issues I got to know a wonderful person and made a great friend. He was truly such a nice guy and he will be missed.

Bob and I met a couple of years ago when he joined our team at FedEx Kinko's. Bob's quiet demeanor and self deprecating sense of humor often made him the brightest and warmest spot in the room. I've had the opportunity to meet several people who had the pleasure to work with Bob, we've all lost a friend.

I have known Bob for about 13 years. We walked through our careers together at Standard Register and FedEx Kinko's. I have never met anyone with as much strength, compassion, integrity and determination as Bob. I am fortunate to have had the experience to learn from him throughout the years. Bob, you will always be in my thoughts and prayers, thank you for making me a better person. My heart goes out to Noemi and Karina, I will keep you in my prayers. Mike and Jim, Bob spoke of you often in the office. (Mostly very humerous stories).
Bob no longer suffers and I am sure he is with his parents telling jokes to all of heaven. All of the laughter will heard by the thunder.

I met Bob for the first time during Freshman Football at LT (Good Lord, almost 25 years ago!) I distinctly remember Bob's silly grin, which got him into trouble when he would be getting chewed out by one of his coaches. I was lucky enough to have been Bob's friend and been able to laugh to his "interesting humor". It was truly a gift to have seen him for the last time in Las Vegas a few months ago and spend time with him watching a few college football games over a few cold beers. I'll miss you Bob. God bless Noemi, Karina, Mike, Jimmy and the rest of the Burns family through this very difficult time.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Bob's passing. He was a kind, funny, compassionate soul. He will be sorely missed. A light here on earth has been extinguished, but the stars will now shine ever more brightly. Go with God, Bob. You will forever be in our hearts.
I pray that the happiest of memories will sustain and comfort Bob's family and friends at this most difficult time. He is in a better place, amongst the best of company. Peace sweet angel.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Bob when when we all played football together on Saturday mornings as part of the mighty reign of the infamous Fighting Hellfish team. Bob's great athletic abilities were equally matched by his care and love for friend's and family. I am a better person for having known Bob and the world is a better place because of him. We will miss him dearly.

I am so sad to learn of Bob leaving us. I missed talking to him over the years. I have known him since 98 while he worked the accounts at our facility. My heart is full for his family. I know he is probably golfing with his dad! Luv to all of you from our hearts to yours.

I met Bob through work. He was a sales rep and I a new buyer....he was helpful, supportive and genuinely cared as we got to know each other. He listened to me thru a seperation & divorce - even helped me and my kids move in the pouring rain. Bob was an encourager to me thru many trials and an inspiration as he went thru his own....because we talked about many things I know that he was a man of faith and I look forward to seeing him again. With sympathy, Deb.

I have known Bob since our careers started at Standard Register roughly 14 years ago. While we didn't get the chance to see each other in person within the last year, we kept in touch via phone and email. Even over the phone, Bob managed to keep his sense of humor and wit intact.
Bob, you are a dear friend and made a lasting impression on me. We have talked at length on the lessons of life and the importance of friendship.
Myself, your family and friends are better people simply by knowing you.
Love,
Scott and Stacy Schweiger and family
