My name is Nancy Shepherd. I grew up in the same neighborhood as the Sosnowski’s.
Norma was my best friend and one I will always treasure. Back in the day everyone knew everyone and where you could find your kid if they were missing. Norma’s parents were both caring and loving. They were the kind of person we would go to sometimes instead of our own parents.
To the family take peace knowing your Dad is up there with mine in heaven. God bless you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏.
To all of Bob’s Friends and Family. Especially his beautiful wife Norma of 65 years! His Loving Daughters, Anne, Norma, and Lauren. His sister Corrine. His Grandchildren, Danny, Rachel, Sarah, Emily and Ben. Son In laws Wayne and Rick. My deepest heartfelt sympathy and condolences to each and every one of you!
It was a pleasure and honor to know Bob for 25 years! He was a sincere, wise and truly a down to earth man! A second Father!
Knowledgeable in just about every topic imaginable. In fact the running joke at our dinner table at night with Norma, Emily, Ben and Myself while having a discussion or debate and not able to find the answers. The comment would be from one of us,
“Call Grandpere he’ll know the answer”!
Rest In Peace Bob!! Your Memory will live on!!
Love,
Tim
