He was my Godfather but more of a dad to me than my real father. He was such a kind hearted man but tough on me when I was stubborn. He was my best friend as well. I love Bobby miss him daily.
My condolences to Bob’s family and friends. I met Bob when I started 9th grade and we became friends. I offer my prayers for his eternal rest.
Eternal rest grant unto Bob, O Lord, and let the light of Your face shine upon him. May he rest in peace. May his soul and the souls of our faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
My condolences to Bobby’s family. He was a friend and classmate of mine. Rest in peace, my friend.
Very sorry to hear about Bob’s passing. I was a classmate and friend of his back in the day. He was always a good guy. My condolences to family and friends. Rest in peace Bob.
Bob was a long time neighbor & friend. The neighborhood just won’t be the same without him. May the Lord give his family comfort & a peace that passes all understanding in this difficult time of loss.
We pray a special blessing over his devoted daughter Kelly, who’s endured so much in this long journey with her beloved father.
