I was thinking today about the day Dad and I were working on my car. I'm terrible at mechanics. Dad was trying to be patient. there was only one part to change and it was supposed to only take 10 minutes. With one bad move I managed to make it into a 2 hour repair. Dad took over and laughed almost the entire time. When all was done he gave me a big hug, told me he loved me and that it was ok if I was the son that needed to hire a mechanic. I didn't have to know how to do everything he did. I'll never forget it. Dad's birthday is coming up and it's been running through my mind a lot right now.

I remember all the times we spent the night and they used to have a fire pit.. we sat around with those sticks used for marshmellows and had hotdogs on them :.) he told us scary stories about UFO's and The Loch Nes Monster and even The "Lizard" of the Black Lagoon lol we used to be so terrified and i used to play along with him to make all the cousins more freaked out :) I remember how crystal clear the night sky used to be when it goy really late.. how bright the fire was and how it smelled when the smoke burned my nose when it came my way... I remember a lot of things... most of them tinny... some memories could fill up a house.... I miss Abuelo so much sometimes it hurts... I still visit him sometimes.. I miss you Abuelo

Abuelo always invited all 8 of his grandkids to sleepover, he used to get under a big white sheet and chase us all around in the dark, that was our hide-and-seek! We all loved him, and we will always miss him! He was a wonderful man and an amazing abuelo!

Patricia, Robert, Michael, Richard and extended family members,
I too am deeply saddened as I hold dear many fond memories of "family" events (watching football games at your house, all the meals shared, births of my children, weekends at the beaches, going fishing, picnics, graduations, weddings, holidays) - all the gatherings of life experiences that Bob was part of. Words cannot begin to express the overwhelming sense of loss and emptiness that came over me when I became aware of your grief. It is my grief as well, as I regret not staying in touch. This comes from my heart to everyone - Sometimes life does not afford us the ability to continue what once was however we come to know we must continue on in our life and find happiness as it is measured to us. In Friendship,
Nancy

Pat and Family, I am so sorry for your loss and ours. Bob was such a fun person, always laughing, happy and a pleasure to be around. We have shared some good times with the two of you that Lawrence and I will never forget. We will miss him dearly. I always told Lawrence that you could see the love he had for his family and he was always so proud to tell you how much he loved all of you. It is rare for a man to show that love, but it wasn't hard for Bob. He was always proud to speak of his sons and their families and especially you Pat. God Bless you all and please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers at this time. Pat, hope to see you soon.

To Bobs friends and family....I am so sorry for such a huge loss to everyone! Bob was one of the funniest men I have ever met. He was such a good soul, and we met thru a mutual friend Mark Ward. Mike is my sisters brother in law, and I met Bob by going over in the mornings to chat with Mike and RD Ward before going to work. Bob was always there to give me a hard time in one way or another. It just got to be part of who he was. When I developed Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma 3 years ago, he gave me a lot of encouragement in that area, and then I saw the man that Bob was....kind, helpful and always optomistic. I wish I could have met you, his family...But I do wish you all well and will keep all of you in my prayers. Take Care! BOB WILL TRULY BE MISSED BY SO MANY!
