Bob Fellow worker and friend I never knew anyone that did not like you. I Know you will be sadly missed by all people close to you.R.I.P.
Uncle Bob was very special to me. I always wanted to be like him. He made a lasting impression on me at a young age. Aunt Mary, the unwanted absence will hurt but look for him with your spiritual eyes and ears—he will be near you. Our time here is brief….but a blink compared to eternity…you will see him soon. Love, Rocky
Very sad for me to hear about Bob, we were classmates at the old Edison Tech where we became good friends. I’ll never forget the times he would stop and pick us on Clifford Ave.with his very cool black 50/51 Oldsmobile. Thanks Bob for saving us from frostbite on those bitter cold winter days, God Bless you,RIP fellow Techman. Denny Kuba
We will miss you, your smile and quiet sense of humor… Loving thoughts and prayers to Mary and the rest of the family.
Dear Mary and family,
Our prayers are with you all at this time. Even though we have only known you for a few years, it felt like we knew you both all our lives. Bob had such a beautiful spirit! And, Mary – you will be our life-long friend. God Bless and love to all.
I’ll remember the snow balls fights, picnics and picking cherries in the tree as kids. Thank you for the generosity in sharing your first paycheck as a paperboy with Mom, she was so surprised and pleased with the gift. Dad looked forward to your daily call it brightened his day. I don’t know why you had to leave us so soon but I know you are with Jesus and He has work for you to do in heaven. Love you Nancy
Thank you for being a good son I will miss your daily “how are you” calls and sharing good memories with you. I will always love you and remember our fishing expeditions and the wonderful man you became. Love Dad
