What a beautiful big family Bob and Joanne have. I'm Roger' sister-in-law. I remember when he came back from Korea. He was a good man. Never said a bad word about anyone. Glad he had a full life. He deserved it.

So Sorry to the family. I have many great memories of "Uncle Bob"! He and Aunt Joanne were the ONLY ones who ever called me "Carolynn". I have thought of them often over the years. I will miss him even more now. God Bless him and the family.

I had the pleasure of working with Bob and I enjoyed his wisdom and wit. My prayers are with him and his wonderful family. God Bless him as he is now in the "Best seat in the House"!

He enjoyed life! He always had a smile for anyone and everyone. I remember dancing with him, a trip to the cemetary during a sleep over and how the bejeebers were being scared out of us, trips to visit, family reunions, so many good times. I remember him with much love! I will miss you, Uncle Bob!

Bob will forever be missed by the Vogl Families. I will miss my conversations I had with him about "anything" and everything! And watching him vacumn his lawn on Christmas Day.
Happy Trails Bob, your free to do whatever you want now and your nosy neighbor won't bother you...yet!

I have so many fond (and funny) memories of Mr. Pappas. I appreciated his insight, encouragement, and how he always found a way to get his point across without saying too much. I hope that your memories of him will bring comfort to you as well during this time.

Growing up in Chicago with Bob was a very happy time. I couldnot have found a better friend. We had great times including a trip to Northern Minn on his Harley. Joy and I will miss him much.
