Bob was a great guy. He was so talented and could do most anything he decided to do. He was good at electrical…building stuff…a great handy man…He was fun to work with and he loved his family., especially his daughter Jennifer. He really enjoyed their almost weekly outings..to malls and out to eat, etc.
He had a great sense of humor and even this past week he would still joke about little things. For example, when Dena took him for a ride in the wheelchair he had some crazy comments about not running into things…He even put part of the jigsaw puzzle together last Saturday.
He was truly a part of the Yonan Carpet ‘family’. He went to church with us at different times. He would show up at outings at various peoples houses.
He had more visitors than anyone else ever on the 4th floor of Good Sam..
He was loved and will be remembered fondly,,,and by God’s grace…we will all meet again with him and Jesus in Heaven.
Bob was a dear cousin and a dear friend, He was always there to talk to when things weren’t going well with my sick husband, He always kept in touch with family members….He truly cared about people even when he was in the hospital of recently he was concerned about other people, a true friend and cousin, you will be missed Bob! Love your cousin Dorothy
very well said! Bob will be missed by many!!
Bob was a quiet, gentle soul, but give him an opening and a zinger might be coming your way. My kind of man.
