Bob, I will miss you more than anyone will ever know and there will be an emptiness in my heart for the rest of my days. I take comfort in knowing that you are with your parents and all our predeceased relatives that we talked about over the past couple of weeks.
You are not only my Uncle but you filled the shoes of my father, brother, my pal and my buddy and I will always be grateful that I had the honor of having you in my life. Thank you for everything you have ever done for me, may you rest in peace.
I love you Bob and will miss you immensely,
