Dear Diane:
Sorry I couldn't he there to see you and share some great old memories. I always remember Bob as one of the handsomest guys I ever knew. Coaching our baseball games and going back you your pool on 36th street. How nice it would be if we could turn back the clock for just a short time. Oh, I almost forgot the wine. My how we liked our wine. Please accept my deep sympathy for you and your entire family. Maybe the next time I meet Gail for dinner, you could come and we could catch up. My love to you and the kids.
Love, Darlene
Also, my condolences to George and Carol. I wish I could see Carol sometime.

Dear Pat and Family,
So sorry to hear of Bobs' passing. I have many fond memories of Bob and your family. Wish I could attend services but I am in Kane County and weather makes it impossible to visit. I think of the old neighborhood often and still keep in touch with Bruce Blecha who still lives on 59th av. God be with you and comfort you in these difficult times
Warmest Regards,
Ron Rosecky
