Bob was one of the best people I had ever met! He treated people the same way he wanted to be treated. I never saw him more happy than when he was with Lola. They were a perfect couple. The love they had was so precious. I know he is at peace now and knows who truly loved him while he was on this earth.. Bob, you will always be a very important part of my life. God bless you! Love always!

To Lola: sorry for your loss, Lola. I remember the last time I saw the two of you together. He was truly happy. Had the biggest smile on his face.
A good man who will truly be missed by all who knew him.
