The thoughts of many good times spent at Parker and also sitting outside in the summer time when we all lived in the Hometown apartments will always bring back happy memories. We know Elaine and the girls will find that each day will remind you of another funny thing Bob did.....always happy and laughing! Our sympathy and prayers are with you.

I will never forget my Uncle Bob's smile or sense of humor. He was indeed a character and I'm thankful to have had the pleasure of having him in my life and in our family. He loved people and loved making them laugh, and from his experiences with his health, he had grown to understand just how important it was to enjoy every moment. I will forever be grateful to him and to Wendee for traveling to Missouri for my Father's funeral. Even though Uncle Bob wasn't feeling his tops, he still made the trip and it meant the world to us. It was really great to have been able to spend that time with him. He hated chain restaurants, loved the "Mom and Pops" & greasy spoons and chatting up the waitresses, he liked telling jokes and talking about the old days. It was an absolute pleasure Uncle Bob. Until we meet again, we will miss you much.

Hey Dad - Hope you are feeling "fantastic", breathing easier, playing golf and catching up with everyone there! Please give an extra hug to Uncle Tony from me. I miss you terribly but am at peace with the fact you are feeling much better! Have a good one and "go slow"!
Love, Butt
