To all my nieces and nephews

Your dad was very special to me. I was only about 10 years old when he came into my life.He was always good to me.As a kid he bought me a collection of story book dolls that I treasured. As I grew older I practically lived with him and Dor.I baby sat alot,he taught me how to play pinnochile ( be sure you count trump )and he would bring home 100 white castle hamburgers at a time....we would eat them for breakfast. He bought my first pizza and my first deep fried shrimp.would always slip me a few bucks to " get a coke " I will miss him and I loved him. My consolation is that he is with Dorothy and Terri and the rest of his family who have gone before him and that we will meet again.

Love Dianne

Bob you were a nice person,I worked

with you at the race track.



I didn't know you were an x Marine.

But it doesn't surprise me you were

the quiet no nonsense type.



I am glad I met you on my life's journey. A good person to who comes into my life is a gift from God. I hope to see you

someday.

Hey Guys

I am sorry we can't be there to share hugs and stories with you all. We were all sad to hear that Uncle Bob had passed. I will share with you my most memorable Uncle Bob story which I am sure you and many others can relate to. I am not sure who else was staying in Bridgeport with me, maybe Tom and Erin, but anyway, Uncle Bob had told us that if we could stay awake until he got home, he would order pizza for us. Those of us from the suburbs thought this was a no brainer. Uncle Bob gets home, we get pizza for dinner. Somehow or another we managed to stay up until Uncle Bob got home from "work" which I think may have surprised him considering it was probably 2 a.m. I am not so sure he was terribly surprised by the fact that we fell asleep long before the pizza was delivered. I can still picture the silly grin on his face when he got home thinking and ultimately KNOWING he had "won". Let's get together for some happy moments in the near future, what do you say?
