With Deepest Sympathy to my cousins and their families. It is so hard to put into a paragraph all the wonderful memories. Most notable the summers my brother, Jim & I spent with Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle Bob & Uncle Tom. What fun! Just makes me smile thinking about it. I'll miss Uncle Bob's early morning calls. We always laughed alot. He's always been such a wonderful, kind human being. I will miss him dearly.

Uncle Bob was so beloved by all who knew him. He and my dad had such a close relationship as brothers. Dad talked about Uncle Bob all the time when Dad was alive. I loved the story about how Dad, who was in the Air Force at the same time as Bob, surprised Uncle Bob in Guam by jumping on him as he slept in his barracks. Uncle Bob made my dad a better person and I know Uncle Bob has missed his younger brother ever since Dad passed away. My hope is that they are somehow together again laughing and hugging each other.
After Dad died Uncle Bob became a father figure to me - he was the first one I called when we were trying to decide whether to buy a new house. Everytime I would call for advice, he would gladly listen and I would feel so much better after our conversation.
I love when we showed up with our RV and parked in the driveway and a big limb was in the way, he said, "Greg cut that limb off. I have never liked that tree anyway!"
Love and condolences to the entire Steinbach family. He was a great man.
