"So very sorry for your loss!! He was such a good man. Our sincere condolences. and prayers to the Family "
"It\'s difficult to believe it has been a week since my sister Charlotte called to tell me about Bob. When I say her name on my phone I thought she was calling to wish my son Adam happy birthday. Sadly that wasn\'t it. Bob is one of the good guys. His integrity is beyond reproach. He loved his boys, his family and my sister. He always had a hug when we went to see him. I will miss those hugs. I don\'t have the words to tell Charlotte and their boys how sorry I am and how much I love them. My sympathy goes out to his sisters and his parents."
