No words take away the pain of losing dad. But know that he will be missed by many as he was loved by many. None as much as you did. Bob was a great neighbor, a true gentleman ( of whom I have met very few who truly qualify), and I watched him raise you with God as his guide. He has earned his Peace and Place with the Lord. May you find your peace at this time and hold tight to the dear memories. Know my prayers are with you both, Deanna and Rob. And bless the grands and great grands.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
