Bob, may you rest in peace. You will be severely missed by our family as well as so, so many others. You were such a good friend and the closest thing I had to a brother for so many years. You are truly an extraordinary human being. My heart goes out to your beautiful children and to Beth and to your family and friends. I wish your children would've had the chance to have you in their lives forever. You were an exceptional Father in a world where those are hard to find. I hope your children realize one day how lucky they are to be a part of you and to know how much they meant to you. We love you so much Bob. You will be deeply missed for all that you were. God Bless your children and your loved ones. Love always, Lynette
