You became a part of my family 14 years ago. For those 14 years you had been a fun, loving companion for my Mom, but also a Dad, Grandpa, and Great-Grandpa. You are very much loved, and to be very selfish on my part, you went too soon. Yes, I witnessed the decline of your health these past months and the health struggles you have had for years, but I already miss you! You have left a gap in my life. I know you were struggling with pain and the ability to breathe, but, I wasn't ready for you to go. Sadly, you were ready... R.I.P. Bob!!! I love you and miss you. You were a great addition to our family!!!
Bob,
Thank you for 34 years of memories. We had some great times together especially up at Lake Cushman. Remember when we were getting ready to go fishing and my boat wouldn't start? We were still at the dock and it was hotter than heck and I was troubleshooting the boat and couldn't figure it out and then you said, "Hey, what's that switch for?" Well, it was the safety switch and it was in the off position. We turned it on and away we went. We laughed and laughed about that for years!
I couldn't have asked for a better father in-law, you were the best and I miss you so much! You were always there for me...Thank you for that. John
Bob , I want to thank you for 34 years of memory's you gave me . Like the time we were at the dock at Lake Cushman about 80 degrees out and the boat wouldn't start , after 20 - 30 minute in the hot sun trying to trouble shoot the problem , you said hey what's that switch for , well it was the safety switch in the off position . LOL I couldn't of asked for a better Father in-law . " You where always there for me" John
As I sit here and think about all the special memories we shared and all the fun times we had it makes me smile to know that you are no longer suffering. I will miss your Super Bowl bets, the special treats you would make for me on my birthday and at Christmas, your constant jokes, and the times you would give me such a hard time I would be in tears. All of those things have helped make me the person I am today. Your sense of humor is one of a kind and I was very fortunate to be able be a part of it and carry that through my own life. To know I got one last visit with you will be something I cherish forever. I love and miss you so incredibly much Grandpa.
BOB, I KNOW YOU ARE UP IN HEAVEN WATCHING DOWN ON ALL OF US, YOU ARE NOW NO LONGER SUFFERING AND UP THERE WITH THE REST OF YOUR FAMILY. \
LOVE LOIS
Donna,Daryl, Denny and families........Your dad was a wonderful man. He always reminded me of my own dad. So friendly and he loved his family so much. I'm going to miss seeing his smile at Christmas. Lots of good memories. Love you all.........
