My grandfather was the kindest gentlest man you could have ever met. If you were lucky enough to have his love you had it unconditionally. No man will ever hold a light to the man he was. He was loved more then he could ever know and I will miss him every single day .

All the memories of Bob are joyous ones. I don’t think in thirty years I ever saw him angry. He was the most loving, accepting, heartfelt man I’ve ever known. God will show him the way to rest peacefully as he well deserves it. We will miss you Bob.

That one man could be the candle that lit the way for so many; the source of strength supporting any who faltered along the way; and the never ending wellspring that will furnish love, light, and laughter until we all meet up again. You will always be in my heart and eternally whispering in the winds. I love you!
