I will remember my Uncle Bobby as a good man who loved his family and liked to laugh. An easy going guy who always had a smile. Peace to you Aunt Denise. Love to Bobby, Kev and Debbie. --Tom

I have nothing but the fondest memories of Bob - it was a great father and friend. I will always remember my Saturday morning's at the track before I started my shift I would always have coffee with him and catch up on the week events. He will be missed dearly.

Bob was a very good friend to my dad, Don Otway. They would always meet up at the race track and have a great time betting on the horses. When my dad had a heart attack at the track in 1989, Bob was there to help him out while waiting for the ambulance to come. When dad recovered, Bob was right there with him back at the track! After my dad passed away in 1995, Bob would still come by the house and visit with my mom over coffee and cigarettes. He was a great guy and luckily for my mom, he had just called her recently to say goodbye. He will be missed greatly by our family and our thoughts and prayers will always be with Denise and the family.
