Dear Dee,Cindy,Judy,Tom and Ryan,

We were so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. We can't imagine how hard these last months were on the whole family. We thought and prayed for him often. Bob was a good buddy, union brother, fine gentlemen and a very loving person. We enjoyed so many great times together, we will never forget them.

Love, Dor and Bill Hogan

We were deeply saddened to hear of Bob's passing. These last couple of days we've been recalling the happy memories our family had with Bob and all of you while living in Palos Hills. It does make us realize that friends live forever in the memories we keep and Bob will surely be alive in our hearts, always. We wish you strength in the days ahead and we wish you peace knowing he is in a better place.

Dear Aunt Dee, Cindy, Tom, Judy & John, Ryan, J.P., Jared, Cody, Nicole, Justin and James,



I can't tell you how precious my visit was with Uncle Bob and all of you in April. I pray for strength for all who will miss Uncle Bob and to keep his love and memory alive. I thank God for blessing me with such a wonderful and loving man as my uncle and Godfather. I know he is now at peace and watching over all of us! I will miss him and love him always. I will keep you all in my thoughts, prayers, and heart. I love you all and I am with you in spirit! My whole family is with all of you in spirit!



Love,

One cannot extend to you the grief I felt at the news of Bobs passing.

My humblest thoughts and deepest sympathies are with you at this time.

He will be greatly missed by those of us who had the pleasure of both working with and learning from him through his gentle and patient mannerisims whilst at CBS.

I for one will not forget his ability to make me feel welcome and appreciated within local 2 when I first started in the business here in the US.

Kia Kaha (be strong of mind and body at this time).

Sincerely

Tracy O'Flaherty (nee Peterson)

My heart is saddened at the lost of my cousin, Bob, but my heart is filled with many fond memories of time with him and his family. The family birthday parties, the christenings, and weddings. The special times I had with your children, which gave me wonderful training for when I became a Mom. I remember with fondness your family visit to Louisiana, when Sherrill was stationed there with the Air Force; and of course the penny poker games. Bob, rest in peace. May the Lord surround your family and loved ones with peace and His grace. You will not be forgotten.

Love and prayers,

Linda
