Dear Barb and family. It is difficult at such a time to know what words to say but may God be with you always. May all the warm and special wonderful memories you shared with Bob stay with you and bring you comfort through the days ahead. He will be missed but be sure he is happy in his Heavenly home where the Good Lord (and Al Kelly) met him with open arms. Sincerely….Mickey

I enjoyed getting to know Bob at the Eaton Co. Medical Care Facility back in the summer of 09. His room was next to my mom’s and we enjoyed getting to know him. My sympathy to his family.
