Our thoughts and prayers go out to you. May God give you the strength and comfort that you need at this time.
We worked with Bob when he worked at Cigas Machine Shop. He was such a great guy and always gave us great tips with our garden or anything else that came about. He will be sadly missed.

To the Family
Bob was the best neighbor anyone could ever have. Jill grew up next to Bob and I met him when I joined the Parkesburg Fire Co. and then later moved next door. He was always there to help. He would bring us vegetables from his garden and helped me start my own. We'll always remember when it snowed we could hear Bob out shoveling at 5:00am. He would shovel half of the block for his neighbors. We miss him dearly and pass on our deepest sympathy to the family.

The Officers and members of the Parkesburg Fire especially the ones who had the pleasure of serving with him extend our sympathy to his family at this time of sorrow.
We will miss you
I woke up this morning and a song was playing on the radio - the lyrics were,"I'm going to miss you, old friend." Truer words were never spoken.
We will miss our friend of many years. We spent many a night talking about old times. To the family all we can say is our prayers are with you as you mourn the loss of Bob. He will always have a special place in our hearts. We know he is in a better place, and God willing, we will all meet up one day and continue our story telling.
God bless all of you.
