Our Deepest Sympathy and Heartfelt Condolences to you and your Family.
Sending Prayers
So sorry to hear of your loss, May God provide you and your family comfort and strength.
I will cherish my Uncle Bob's memories forever… He was a comedian. He told me once how to remove my freckles, to smear butter on my face and let a cat lick it off. What a card. Also all the kids were standing around, intently listening, as he put a dime under a glass of water, and bet you that he could remove the dime without you knowing. No way, I said, splash in your face , up went the dime, and he was right. He always called me “Samanthy” not sure why, but O did I love my Uncle Bob. He was always so happy to see us. He will be missed. Prayers for all his kids and grandkids, please know and remember his fun side. I hope this brightens you a little.
Uncle Bob was my Favorite person he always new that, he reminded me of my pap the memories I have with him I'll cherish forever. My pap would call over to my house and say I'm going to see uncle bob you coming boy did I get ready in a flash. He was always watching a baseball game and picking on me pulling my arm hair and said what's that lol he always asked have you played a left handed banjo I always laughed and say well no I'm right handed. I love you uncle bob say hi to my nan and pap&10084;&10084;
