Uncle Bob,
Heaven must have realized they needed your services as the ultimate toastmaster and mentor. Lead on...you'll have them eating out of your hands in no time. As a raconteur, you had no equal.
Love,
Jacki

So sorry to hear of the passing of Uncle Bob. He wasn't my blood relative but treated me like family. I was married to his nephew and he and Aunt Roberta were always so wonderful to me. I will miss you, Uncle Bob. You were a sweet wonderful man and a great example of a kind husband and father. God Bless You and your family.

We'll miss you, Bob! My family and I always enjoyed your friendly face and interesting conversation at Christ Church coffee hours and functions. My husband John especially appreciated hearing your views on Norwalk and its history. I'm glad I finally got to hear your son perform in June 2010. You were a great family man and citizen whom we were lucky to know.
