"There are places I remember, all my life, though some have changed. Some forever not for better, some have gone and some remain. All these places had their moments. With lovers and friends, I still can recall, some are dead and some are living. In my life, I've loved them all."

Thank you for the memories Bob.

Uncle Bob, I appreciate all the times I got to see you. I can still vividly remember the bright smile on your face every time you were over for family holidays — or the stories my dad would tell in joy about you when you two were younger. Your love for the Beatles was passed down to my father, to me, and will continue as generations pass on. I regret that I never gotten to see you before you passed — I was so excited to visit you on my trip to Virginia Beach. I had so much to tell you, about how my life has been, introduce you to the love of my life, tell you just how much I missed you, even it was for the last time. But I know you're up in heaven now and are watching down on me and my family. I'm very grateful to have had you as an uncle. May you rest in peace, and someday I'll get to see that beautiful smile once again. I love you, uncle Bob. You'll always been in my heart. ❤️

Bob, you are already missed so much. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to see you last month. Your laughter will stay in my mind forever. You were such a good big brother, and Uncle to my boys. We loved having you over on Sundays while you still lived in Ohio. Bill would go and get you, and we'd watch the Browns games together and eat all of your favorite snacks. I'm glad your at peace now. I love you- Sandi (Nanni)

Bob, I know you are in heaven with Mom, Dad, and Connie. You were a good man with a good soul. Your faith got you through so much. You were a great father, a fantastic chef, and had a great sense of humor even after you got sick 20 years ago. Your body may have been broken but your spirit never was. You helped steer my love of music, especially The Beatles. I'm pretty sure I'm a decent chef thanks to you (though I can never quite replicate your amazing chicken recipe). I'm sorry you never got to see the Indians win the World Series or the Browns even get to the Super Bowl. But maybe you can watch it someday from up above. Love you Big Brother, always and forever. From "The Little Boy Who Couldn't Cut His Egg".

To my Big Brother Bob. You will be dearly missed by all of your siblings. We love you so much and can rest in the comfort that you are singing (off key) with the angels. I know without a doubt that you were met by Dad,Mom, and our oldest sister Connie. As sad as I am that you are no longer with us, you are free of the things that held you down in this world. One of my last conversations with you was you were ready to meet your Savior Jesus and be reunited with our parents. I will miss your Facebook scripture verses, I will miss your waving dog or bear emojis on my posts as well as your funny responses. You were the best older brother and your Faith in God made such an impact on so many lives. Until we meet again. With much love- your sister Sharon
