When I first met Bob it was a difficult time in our loves I was 12. And my sister was 10. Here was a gentle loving person who had a lot of patience. But as time went on his love for my mom and us. He was the back bone of family. He stood by us through good times and bad and tragedy. He stayed when most would not. He was the best father(stepfather) he nwas there when I brought people home who needed help. He never turned them away. He was a great father brother son and grandpa. When he passed away our lives fell apart. He loved my mom unconditionally. I think about him everyday. I know he's in heaven dancing with my mom and I love him so much.
