I am sorry to hear of your loss...but it is Heaven's gain. I'm sure Bob is up there having a party with Al too! Anyone who knew him has some funny and great memories of the Hambone. What a guy!!!
As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the hand of God, beautiful memories and the love and support of family and friends.
Blessings,

Dear Hames Family,

We're so sorry to hear of Bob's passing! I went to grammar school with Bob at STM and will always remember him for his terrific sense of humor. He was a lot of fun and a real nice guy.

Hopefully you can find consolation in the fact that you brought as much joy to his life, as he has brought to yours. Remember the good times spent with him.

Bob will surely be missed!

Dear Family Hames.
Sadly we heard from Barbara of the passing of her brother Bob. We hardly know him, but Barbara often spoke of him.
Surely he is in a better place where there is no pain, no sorrow. The sorrow and pain is left for those of us who will miss his presence.
We wish the Hames family peace in the recognition that one day you will all meet again - over there.
Sincerely,
Gerda and Donald J. Hansen,
Honorary Consulate General of Luxembourg at Chicago
