Dear Bob:
My best buddy of 63 years.
We go back a long time and have shared so many wonderful times together along with some sad times.
I will miss my best buddy of 63 years.
To my family, Bob was always "Uncle Bob."
But, as I wipe away the tears, I will also have so many smiles on my face for the great times we shared together over the years.
We were always together for each other.
Dear Sheila:
You have been a wonderful mate to Bob for all these years and you are in my heart as family.
I share your grief and am sorry I can't be there for the service.
I will be there in spirit through my sister, Sharon.
All my love to you and your loving daughters,
Gary
