For the last eight years we have had the privilege of knowing Bob through his relationship with mom. He brought her much happiness & love & vice versa in their final years of life. Please know that he will be greatly missed.

Robert/Robin & families,So sorry to hear of your Father's passing. It's hard to believe that we haven't seen him since my Father's passing 14 months ago. Maybe the old neighbors, Bob, Ed and John are having coffee somewhere up there.Regards,Mark T. Onosko
