Such a dear family with a loving husband and father. Never knew he indeed served his country too.. He loved animals like his dear Ann. That speaks volumes. He will be missed by his dear family and his fishing and golfing buddies.

Ann, you know I will always laugh when I hear a phone ringing and it is a dog barking.... it's Bob calling. What a wonderful man! You know he was my hero coming down the street to protect me against a burglar with his baseball bat! Too bad the officer thought it was him... LOL. Bob always said he knew you were safe with me when we went our excursions... I hope he knows you are still safe! Love you Cinny
