My dear friend, it saddens me after many calls unanswered, I looked in the obituary and saw your name. Friends for 40 years, we shared many good memories. May you always watch over me as you always did. You were like a brother to me and I will miss our talks. You are now in a beautiful place surrounded by your loved ones. I will always hold a special place in my heart for you. I love you Murphy.

Bob was a lovely man whom I got to know thru the St. Viator's mens club. He was always available to help out his fellow man with a ride. Bob, RIP!

One of the first friends I met when I moved into my condo. The Fountainaire won't be the same without you. Miss you, RIP my friend.

I will miss the long lunches we would have at the Red Apple and Jolly Inn. It was always a great get together. Plus you were a great employee for me at the Sheriff's Office for many years.

We had great years together with the K of C. Bob was a great friend and fellow Marine. He will be missed by all members of Brownson Council.
Rest in peace my friend.
