"Dear Gail and all Bob?s loved ones, Bob meant so much to my father, Don Godin, and our whole family remembers you both with much affection. My mother loved getting your Christmas card every year-it brought back memories of my father?s daily stories from the firehouse. He was fortunate to have Bob and the others as his close companions at work. May you all be surrounded by much love and comfort at this heartbreaking time. With deepest sympathy, Mary Godin Silverman"

"Gail, I've had you in my thoughts so much lately. I know how heavy a load you've carried, always with patience and love. There are no words adequate to your loss, but I am here if you need anything, or just want to talk. And Jill, you've been a rock of support throughout this difficult time. I don't know how your parents would have coped without you. Bobby was a wonderful person. I remember watching him and Gail so delightfully burning up the dance floor at Ruth's wedding - and I'm reminded of his zest and enthusiasm. I think of how he came out one winter morning to jumpstart my car when the battery failed -- and I'm reminded of his kindness and helpfulness. Every time I phone you, Gail, and hear Bobby's voice masquerading as you on your voicemail, I'm reminded of his sense of humor, and it makes me smile. He will be missed."

"For Gail and family....This is Barb Quinn, (Bob Quinn's widow), and I would like to say how sorry I am for your "Bobby's" passing. I will always remember his fun and upbeat voice when he would call to talk with my Bob. He was a great guy with a wonderful spirit. He will be missed by so many. Hold your family close."

Gary Birkahn wrote on Dec 10, 2022:

"We are very mindful that Bob had to be one heck of a guy gauging by his brother John, a team builder, and then some. The Birkahns offer our prayers and condolences to the Yanus family at this time of grieving the loss of a family member. Gary and Bonnie Birkahn."

"My sympathies to you Gail your children and family for your loss. I had the pleasure of meeting Bob at events and get togethers over the years and he was a very nice and special man. I especially will remember when you both agreed to take Bella and he came to get him and they looked at each other and Bob talked to the cat and it just worked out . Bella felt safe with him. I have the highest respect for him his life and family. You are in my prayers and thoughts at this time. God Bless "
