My Uncle Bob was a wonderful man. I loved him and will miss him dearly. I would like to thank Aunt Ellie for loving and taking such good care of my uncle. I pray that she finds peace and comfort knowing that he is no longer suffering in pain. We love you Ella Mae, the Morabito family.
I knew Bob as a child growing up just down the road from him and his wonderful parents in Hemlock. He was such a great guy and will be missed by many like myself and my family knowing him was a pleasure and I feel fortunate I was able to know such a kind loving man.
Aunt Ella: We are so sorry for your loss. We are praying grace and strength on you as you walk through this dark valley. God is with you. Trust in Him. Lean on Him. We love you.
