"I will always remember Bob cracking a joke of some kind. No matter how upset you were he Would get you laughing in no time. He was always giving of himself to help someone else out. He was one of the last few truely decent men left on this earth. He believed in doing things right and helping those less fortunate. He had a heart of gold and this world is going to be much sadder place without him. I will miss you terribly BeBob!"
