To my dear cousin Bob’s family, we are so sorry to hear of Bob’s passing. As a little girl I will never forget the way he made people laugh at his jokes and funny sayings. Terry and I are in Florida on vacation and will not make ir back in time for the funeral. Our sympathy and love goes to you all. Bob will be greatly missed by all who knew him as the jokester that I did. Love always Terry and Rita Jean Bohn

Jackie, It was so good to see you both at Helen and Walter's party. I probably hadn't seen you and Bob in 30+ years. So glad we got to spend the evening with you and talk about "the good old days". We will keep all of you in our prayers.

I felt like Bob was like the big brother that I never had. I loved his wit and humor. He also gave those great kisses. He will be missed so much. If there is anything I can do, please let me know.
