So many memories come to mind... all the gatherings at my dad's, the barbecues, the construction work to the house, fishing trips, the fishing stories! Omg, one in particular that ALWAYS comes to mind... My dad, Bob, Brian & Jamie had after fishing (& drinking) went to Dennys Restaurant where, in the entryway they poured out the leftover leaches they had & then proceeded to back the Station Wagon into a parking spot so they could sit back, (hiding) & laugh thier butts off at all the people coming out of the restaurant that had to either jump over or try to remove them from the sidewalk! It was the highlight of their night! Lol! But, ONE thing I will NEVER forget about Bob, his laugh! You could be in another room & if you heard that laugh you knew, UNMISTAKABLY it was Bob!
Pam, Eric & Kelly~ ALL the memories, good, bad or otherwise, that's what we have until we meet up with our loved ones again, so, KEEP WITH YOU, CLOSE TO YOUR HEART, ALL OF THEM! May they bring comfort to your hearts. Please accept my sincere condolence & my Gods peace be with each of you...
Much Love,
Trisha (Burke) Peel

It saddens me to lose such a close friend as Bob. If he were here I'd tell him what joy he brought to me and my families lives. he was loving and considerate, loyal, and honest. We could sit for hours and visit with Bob and Pam. We will miss the 4th of July and Thanks Giving dinners and other holidays we got to spend together.
Bob was a hell of a good man. They don't come any better then him as a friend. We send our prayers and sympathy to Pam and family members.
Bobs memories will all ways be with us and our love and prayers will all be with him.
R.I.P. BOB
