Maria and Maggie, I am so sorry for your loss. Maggie shared a few stories of Uncle Bob with us after practice. Such a great uncle you had and so many wonderful, loving and tender memories for you and for you to share.
Peace to Uncle Bob and his family,
Julie
When I think of Bobby I just remember how hard he worked for us on the Flanigan Farm. Cristi was a baby and He would walk her around while I was trying to get meals for Joe and Bobby. He was a wonderful help and he did know how to do anything – including baby sitting to farm & tractor work. He was a wonderful man I will never forget him and how much work he helped us accomplish. Rest in Peace – God Bless you – you will be surely missed.
I did not have the pleasure to Bob. However, I have had the pleasure of knowing Bob’s son Robbie.
I can only say that I would be proud to have Robbie as a son. I have enjoyed many cigars with Robbie at the Queensbury Cigar shop.
The best award for any parent have is to have raised a good and responsible child.
My deepest sympathies go out to both Deanne and Robbie.
Your friend Tim Seeley
