You were my dad… if not for you and Uncle john my son and I wouldn’t be who we are today…. I’m sorry I wasn’t there….. no reason I had to not go at that time is sufficient…. I’m sorry… love doesn’t describe what I felt for you.. too much to express but I hope you hear me when I talk to you and Uncle John…thank you isn’t even the right thing to say. I love you isn’t enough. You were and are my perfect Angel.
Missing you, Gramps! Thank you for all the years of smiles and laughter and endless love, countless life lessons, classic car stories, and stacks of pancakes. Love always, “Squirt”
Mr. Tolaro was my neighbor since I was a kid. He had the best lawn in the neighborhood always outside working in the yard!! If you needed something and he had it it was yours (tools and hardware) very generous!! I was sad to see them move. He will be deeply missed. Hugs and prayers to the family! Your old neighbor Vicki Nunnari.
The first time I met Bob’s Uncle Lee I liked him. He was a big and smiley man and enjoyed showing us his beloved 1957 Lincoln. I was drawn to it not just because of its gorgeous Coral color, but also because the year of the vehicle was the year of Bob’s birth. I made the comment that “if he ever wanted to sell it, we want to buy it.” The next year we did just that and drove up with our twin babies in tow and trailered it back to Dayton. 14 months ago, Bob, Jean and I hauled the Lincoln back up to Avon to give Lee a ride. It was cold outside and yet, you’d never know it. He smiled from ear to ear the entire time. Those memories will live on forever. We are praying for you, Carole, and for your big beautiful family. See you next week.
