I met Bob and Donna when my son, Jason became engaged to Brigid over 20 years ago. Though we didn’t see each other too often, he was always so kind, sincere, loving and gracious toward me. Bob will always remain in my heart as a wonderful husband to Donna, adoring father to Brigid (Jason),, Jill (Todd) and as an awesome “Papa” to Ava and Falyn.
“May his memory be a blessing”

Both Vlad and I enjoyed talking with Bob at family gatherings. He was a friendly and interesting person to talk to and was always open to sharing opinions and ideas. Please accept our sympathies.
