“The tide recedes but leaves behind bright seashells on the sand. The sun goes down, but gentle warmth still lingers on the land. The music stops, and yet it echoes on in sweet refrains….. For every joy that passes, something beautiful remains.”
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. Bob was a very wonderful person who will be deeply missed.
I remember uncle Bobby and my Dad (his brother) coming home and pouring huge bags of smelt on the kitchen table when I was only 6 or 7 thinking they caught every one by hand, they definitely turned me into the fishing woman I am today. Uncle Bob's woodworking skills were just outstanding. I remember feeling so cool when him and aunt Rosie would try and help me get in backstage to concerts as a teenager..that's was so fun! He always had lots of friends and good stories to tell. He'll be missed by many, I felt so proud going to the conservation club and seeing their big beautiful boat in the same spot I grew up, him and aunt Rosie made sure my dad had the best spot for his service there at the club, I'll forever be grateful. He was a great man, tougher than steel, and loved his family. God bless you uncle Bob, RIP you deserve it. Your niece, Kimmy.❤️
"Bob the builder." Will always think of him when looking at the basket of tootsie roll pops. Will miss you.
