I am so sad about the passing of my dear Uncle Bobby. I have so many great memories of him though, that I will have forever. As a kid, I loved going to visit because Uncle Bobby always said,"yes". 🙂 He also would let us go into the freezer in the basement and look for the Guitar Bar ice cream treats amongst other goodies! Every year when in Chicago, Uncle Bob would hold reign over the whole 'fam damily' at Sabatino's restaurant and it was always an event to behold and look forward to. I'm thankful that I still get to hear stories about Uncle Bob from my dad, his brother, because they are always pretty comical! I will always remember my Uncle Bob as the very best uncle ever...or as Uncle Bob would always say.......
"What's not to like"??????
I love you Uncle Bob,

Uncle Bob....
You were the best an Uncle could be. I also have many memories of when you and Aunt Evie would come to LasVegas for a week and hang out at the Dunes Hotel pool. When our family would visit you Aunt Evie,Mark and Joann, you always made sure we had the best of everything. We were never slighted.
The mortal world has lost a kind,generous, and loving soul. You will be missed in my heart.
Rest in Peace Uncle Bob.

Your Loving Niece,

Peggy
