Dear Alberta

As we were away during early May, we just learned of Bob's passing. He was a very caring person. I enjoyed working with him as a volunteer for St. Rose of Lima Church. My sincere condolences to you and your family.

Mrs. Slattery and family,
Our sincere condolences. I had the honor of working with Bob at DRS. He was great person. Very fair in everything he did and said. He always spoke highly of his family. He's in our thoughts and prayers.

My prayers goes out to the family. I worked at DRS at the time Bob was there.
He was a nice guy. J.Lorraine Tutler

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I always enjoyed talking to Bob at family gatherings. I think of you all whenever I am driving nearby Madison.

Things I will always remember and cherish about my Uncle Bob: 1) He took the time, while he was "courting" my Aunt Bert to play with my sister and I- his tickles and horsebites were something we looked forward to with every visit to Rock Lane. And the sky-high pop-ups he'd throw me in the back yard on Woodruff Road were incredible! 2) He had great taste in women proposing to my Aunt Bert- do I recall correctly that he had you open the glove compartment to find the engagement ring? 3) He and Bert produced three incredible boys/cousins who have turned out to be three incredible men- and he went along with the crazy idea of allowing me the priviledge of being Godfather to one of them. Do you guys remember me chasing your car when you would leave from visits to our house? 4) He was a quiet guy- a little on the introverted side I think, which made me feel less self-conscious about being that way myself. An incredibly kind, gentle, loving, giving man with a great sense of humor- I always enjoyed the give and take exchanges he and my Mom would give each other about their ages. I could go on for quite some time. He ended his life with a most strong and courageous battle against the most dreaded of diseases and though it pains me deeply to know he's gone from us, I am grateful to know that he is now pain free and experiencing great joy with our Lord whose New Commandment he lived so well. My deepest condolences, love and prayers to Bert, Bob, Patrick, and Kevin along with his siblings and the rest of the family. We all will miss him dearly. I am very sorry that I could not make it up for his services. Rest in Peace Uncle Bob; I love you.

Dear Alberta and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all! Even though we couldn't get to Madison this weekend to be with you, our arms have been around you long distance. We will be in touch and will get together soon. We will miss Bob and his sweet and caring ways. Love to the Slattery Family, Lou-Ann, Steve, Jen,& Susan Bozenhard

I am very sorry to hear of Bob's passing I knew him from DRS and he was a real nice person. Again my sincere condolences

Our sincere condolences to your entire family. You were all so blessed to have had Bob as a member of your immediate family. He was admired by many. I will always remember him as having a "voice" that always seemed to be smiling. Love to all, Diane and Frank (Melbourne, FL)

I had the honor of working for/with Bob for years. He was the most honest , kindest man I have ever worked for. He was always proud of his wife and his sons, you all were so young when I knew you. He could talk for hours of his family. Thank you for sharing your husband and dad with us. He will be missed. I will alway feel blessed having him as my friend and everytime I hear his name it will always put a smile on my face. God bless you all.

I will always remember Uncle Bob from the summers I spent at the house as a young girl, learning to sew and helping with the garden. The boys were just babies... I will never forget Uncle Bob's kind voice, nor his caring and playful manner. He really did make us cousins feel special, one and all. We will all miss him very much and are only comforted in knowing that he had very strong faith, is now at God's side and no longer suffering. God Bless all the family. We all love you very much.

I had the great pleasure to have worked with Bob at DRS many years ago. He was a good man. I have always thought of him with fondness. My condolences to you all at this time.

Warm,kind,caring and sweet are all words that come to mind when I think of Uncle Bob. I know all of my cousins would agree that through the years every time you saw Unlce Bob he somehow made you feel special. He was a warm and genuine person. To Auntie Bert, Bob, Patrick, Kevin and your families may you be comforted in knowing that your husband/your Dad/your Papa has found eternal peace and joy. God bless you all.

Alberta & family,
So sorry to hear of your husbands passing. Sorry I can't be there in person to to give my condolence. Keep the faith and carry on.

Dear Bert,
Although it's been only for the past year that we've really gotten to know you and Bob, we feel like we've known you forever. We will certainly miss Bob in our Small Christian Community Group. He always had such meaningful experiences and lessons to share with us all. He was a very saintly man, one from whom we all learned the true meaning of FAITH. It has been our privilege to be a friend of both you and Bob, and we thank you for that gift. For now, Bob, rest in the arms of the Lord until we're once again reunited. Our love, peace and blessings to the entire Slattery family.

Dear Bert,
I am so sorry to hear about Bob's passing. I wish I had a chance to meet him. He contributed a lot to life and to those in need. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. and Mrs Slattery,
On behalf of my family I would like to extend our condolences to you and your relatives on the passing of your loved one. I am sorry I could not be there in person to offer my sympathy and support. May God bless Robert and the Slattery family. The Brumleve family.

It seems so hard to believe I am writing this, it seems like yesterday we were all together at yet another family picnic. I miss those days so much more than I even want to admit- Happy Days! They say every good thing must come to an end and God has taken another good one home. I have no words that haven't been already said, Uncle Bob was a great man and will be missed by all who knew him. May the great memories of a life well lived help us all at this difficult time. Gone but not forgotten - RIP Uncle Bob!

Bert, Bob fought the good fight...and you were right beside him all the way. Now it is your time to know that he will be with you "all the way"
It was a privilege to know that special man.
Betty and Meg Van Der Gracht

Not too many neighbors can claim three generations of memories-but we can. Bob, you will be missed--and remembered.
With love and sympathy,
Jo-Ann

Bert and Family - We were so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. The world is a little sadder place when we lose someone as special as Bob. He will always be in our hearts and in our prayers and so will never be truly gone. Love, Al and Claudia Wheaton

I always enjoyed the times spent with the Slattery family and always admired all the meaninful volunteer work Bob did. Rest in peace dear friend. The world is a much better place because of you.

Paul & Family:

I'm deeply saddened to learn of Bob's death. He was so much a part of my early days as your neighbor and friend from Magnolia Avenue. My prayers are with you and him. May the Good Lord welcome Bob home.

I am sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I remember him when I first started with DRS as a CCT over 32 years ago as if it was yesterday. He was a strong passionate man who always acted with thoughtfullness and kindess to others. He truly cared about his job, fellow employees, freinds and family.

I am so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. He was an incredibly kind man. My prayers are with you all. Love to you all.

Dear Bert, Bob, Patrick,and Kevin,
We send our deepest condolences. I have such fond memories of growing up with Bob -- he was my buddy. And he became a truly good man who, throughout his life, tried always to do what he thought God wanted him to do ... and he succeeded, bringing the light of Christ to so many people along the way. We were all blessed to know him. I am sure that our dear Lord welcomed Bob with open arms. May God grant him eternal rest, and may He send each one of you His grace, consolation, courage, and strength.
With deepest sympathy,
Aggie and John

Bert & Family- our deepest condolences to you all. May God bless and keep and your faith keep you strong. Tony Burton

Bert, so sorry to hear about your husband's passing. I know you will cherish your memories. Know that you are loved and thought of fondly.

Mr Slattery...I will miss your mindful jaunts in the neighborhood and of course your thoughts of wisdom.
Love and peace to you and Bert
Lillian

I feel like it was yesterday that we were playing kick the can and flashlight tag in the Slattery's backyard. I have such vivid childhood memories of being with the Slattery boys and the rest of the neighborhood clan. I hope you can use the wonderful memories of your dad, and husband to help you through this difficult time.

Bob, Much loved and will be much missed.

Aunt Bert & Family, soo sorry to hear of Uncle Bob's passing... He was a true gentleman & fighter to the end.. I don't believe that I ever saw him without a smile on his face, He was always there to lend a hand whenever and whereever possible...His pain is gone now, Remember the good times... Rest in Peace Uncle Bob..

I remember growing up with Bobby and Paul and Sheilah, my dear cousins, visiting back and forth especially on those amazing holidays. Bobby was always true and reliable and loving. A man of few words at times, yet he was always himself, never seduced by the world. Bobby was and remains a role model of putting family first and loving without conditions. He sought to encounter God's mystery and that desire led him to consider the priesthood for a while. But God eventually led him to his true vocation as husband to his cherished Alberta and father to his beloved sons. Bobby always had a heart ready to give to others. He was a great teddy bear in the best of senses, yet he had a character that was so strong and faithful. I will miss you dear cousin, more than you know, and I will always look up to you. Love, Mary
