    Dear Bob…
    I am sad at your passing. I had hoped to see you one more time before you left on your heavenly journey. I know that you suffer no more pain…
    And that you’re happy at being reunited with your brothers and other family that have gone before you.
    I will miss our visits.. I will miss your tendancy to be Mr. Cranky Pants when you didn’t feel good, or were just plain aggravated. I will miss your odd ball sense of humor most of all..
    You were a good man… a wonderful husband for Joyce… and a good example of what a father is.

    I send my deepest condolences to Bob’s wife…Joyce, and to all of his children, grandchildren, as well as great grandchildren.
    And all other family members as well. I understand your loss and I grieve with you.

    He will be missed…
