Tina & Entire McGleam Family. We are so sorry to hear of Bobby's passing. He was a truly nice guy - and always smiling whenever we talked with him. Nothing but good thoughts of 'Bagle' Bob. We will keep him and all of you in our thoughts and prayers. He is with too many good friends who have passed before us and they have welcomed him and are smiling down on all of us. Be strong - I'm sure he would want it that way.
Doe & Greg Slusarski & family.
