  • Dear Carole and family, Linda & Judy So sorry to learn of Bob's untimely passing. We are finding early 70's is a harsh time for men, mostly cancer but other things too. Our prayers are with you as you find your way with Bob no longer in the daily picture, I'm sure you all will miss him desperately, he was such a pleasant guy. May you treasure your memories as you find your new lives. May Bob grow anew in heaven's garden! I remember early morning train rides to you home so we could see the Santa Clause Parade. Take care, love your tears as they heal your loss, With love, Joan Breakey Adams - Posted by: Joan Adams (cousin) on: Sep 13, 2019
