To the whole Dumais family -

Bob's presence will always be felt by those soul's he touched here on earth.
The good times and memories spent with him will forever be a part of each one of us. We remember fondly the good times spent by he and his family during his son Pat's football coaching years here at Woodland High School.
- With our thoughts and prayers to all
God bless, The Spaniol family

DuMais family,
We were so sorry to hear of Bob's death while we were in FL. I always thought of Bob as my "school friend" through the decades. We went to St. Margaret's together, our kids went to STM together and most recently have seen each other while dropping our grandkids off at Barbara Vick. I will miss seeing him around the neighborhood and at County Fair. Our prayers are with you all. May fond memories make the days ahead easier.
