Personal note

Thank you so much to everyone visiting this site. We are still pulling together pictures and other things we want to share about Bob. Please check back or subscribe below if you'd like to be notified when more information is added. We created this site because memory is such a powerful thing and the ability to share a memory will help others never forget. Bob was a man of many words who loved to tell a good story. Losing his memory, and eventually his words, changed his life in immeasurable ways. He lost his battle to Alzheimers on December 11, 2021 and would like nothing more than to have those around him remember his life by taking steps to support those who are affected by Alzheimers and to help take steps to rid the world of Alzheimers. Please feel free to honor his life by donating to the Alzheimer's Association in his name or sharing a photo or memory about Bob that those who knew him may have forgotten or never had the pleasure of knowing.

Click on the "Memories" link to scroll through photos and posts and add to the collection. There are also photos posted on the "Timeline" for you to enjoy. Do you remember his favorite things? Click on "Favorites" to see what people remember and to add your memories of his favorites.
