Rest in peace bob..i enjoyed taking care of you and I’ll always remember the funny conversations we had.
May God grant him his seat at his right hand . I loved Bob he was a very kind man but didn’t want to admit it he lived in my nursing home and was a true pleasure to know him.
I was truly great full when Elizabeth came to visit him and made it possible to share the last years of his life with family that loved him. He did love the casinos and Elizabeth and her beautiful horses, he would say that his daughter had a wonderful husband that he respected. He was truly thrilled to be able to go to Kansas City with them
My prayer is that the family find peace with his passing and memories that can fill their loss
