My thoughts and prayers are with Bob's Family. Bob was one of my closest friends. I met Bob, two, maybe three years ago at most, but from the first night we met, we could talk for hours. We loved to play darts together, surf the Internet, and watch movies. We always helped each other out. Bob was right there when I needed help with my garage sale and when my washer was broke , he said, "Bring your laundry on over here and bring your darts too so I can give you a lesson and teach you a few things!" When Bob had foot surgery I stayed with him a lot to take care of him and make sure he stayed off it. I think he was enjoying having his meals. prepared every day! He always was so thoughtful and giving. He knew I liked Chicken in the Biscuit crackers and always had them on had, along with my Diet Pepsi. He wanted his patio furniture painted. So he killed the spiders on the patio for me and I was just finishing up on the painting.
Bob was good people. He was a good man . Good bye, my friend, May you rest in peace. Love you and Miss you. Dianne

Amber, Ashley, and all the family, I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad. My Kids and Grandkids are all grieving too. Last time they saw him was a couple of years ago at a family birthday party we had. He was so surprised at how much they had all grown since he had seen them last. Everyone was happy to see him. It was a good time.
I send love your way from all of us. Let me know if I can do anything for you.
