Joanie, I wish to send my condolences to you from me and the family. I've know Bob for so many years now and he's always been a pleasure to be around. You know we all loved Bob he wasn't like anyone else he was a lovable person always had a smile (like me) the kids enjoyed him so much. Whenever they came by he would play and talk to them it didn't bother him much. To show the type of effect he had on my son (Chaz) when he saw him in the casket he couldn't understand why Uncle Bob wouldn't wake up and play with him. Bob you will truly be missed by me as well as other people whose lives you have touched. May you rest in peace. (Granny) Joanie I'll always be here for you for whatever a cry, an ear, lunch, dinner, trip to the bank or whatever you need I love you so much and it's gonna be ok. You have two lovely daughters to keep you busy for awhile and the grandkids can take up the rest of the time along with friends and family. Stay strong and lovable. Your special sister (friend) always. Marie, Charles, Tionna, Wu-Wu (Julius) and Chaz (Charles).

Joanie, Ric and I just wanted to express our heartfelt condolences to you. Jan just emailed us the saddened news this morning. If I would have known sooner, surely we would have paid you our condolences in person. Bob was a rare individual; one whom we both enjoyed very much, and his love for you was apparent to all who had the pleasure of witnessing it. Just want you to know that we're here for you. Maybe the old group could all get together, once you're up to it, and have a toast to Bob. I think he'd like that. Our thoughts are prayers are with you. Love, Karen and Ric

My sincere condolences to you, Sis on your loss. I didn't know Bob well but each time I saw him he was jovial and always had something nice to say. I wish you a swift recovery from your sadness.
