After my grandfather passed away, I couldn't imagine anyone else ever being in my grandmother's life. That changed when I met Bob. It was odd at first thinking of him as "Grandma's boyfriend", but that didn't last long. He became part of our family. My grandmother's last years were happy because she had Bob in her life. Their love for each showed. My condolences to the rest of Bob's family. I know he will be missed by many. Kathy Dodson

Robert, Jim, and John, So sorry about your dad. I will always remember our talks on the deck at Nancy and Jim's house where I learned more about your dad and you boys then any of you would ever tell on your own. It was always a memorable time and time well spent when I got to have those visits! Thoughts and prayers go out to you all and your family! Love, Rich

Bob and my mother, Rose, were very close companions for the last 12 years of her life. I know they cared for each other very deeply. He took very good care of her when she needed it most. I first met Bob at a surprise 70th birthday party we were all giving for Rose. We knew she had a special friend but we hadn't met him yet. We found a way to contact him and add to her surprise with his presence at the party. From the very beginning I liked Bob very much. He always had interesting stories to tell and was very good, not only just to my mother, but to me, my husband and my brothers as well. Bob and Rose would often pet sit our cat, Maggie, when we were traveling. He helped my husband with projects like the re-roof our house and we would often go out to dinner on "double dates". I have always enjoyed his company and am lucky to have known him.

Over the last 7-8 years, while Bob lived with Jim, Nancy & his grandchildren, I would be there at least 3 times a week working out with Jim. I became quite a fixture at the Holland's household, and Bob would always wonder why I didn't show up on a particular day. He always had the TV on either watching a movie or FOX News. Some days, when no one else was home & he wasn't answering the doorbell, I would have to go around to the back of the house to knock on the window to wake him up. Most times before and after a workout, Bob & I would talk about anything & everything from politics, to culture, philosophy, relationships, WWII, his job, even how to raise my son. He was so smart and had an opinion about everything. I was always amazed how he would recall in such detail stories during the war. My Dad has that same ability, and we owe so much to their generation. I know how proud he was of his sons and his grandchildren and I know it was a blessing for him to spend all of that time with Sam & Sara, to watch them grow and be a part of their lives. I have always been amazed by Jim & Nancy's generosity and love they shared with their Father/Father-In-Law. I'm going to miss you Bob.

I will always be grateful for Bob, knowing I could approach him and share a joke or a story. He was a great storyteller and knew so much about life and people. I'll explain. There was the time I brought a heavy heart and a veterans flag with medals pinned to it and sat down in Jim and Nancy's living room with Bob. I had been struggling with the loss of my Dad, a World War II veteran who had received two bronze medals. After writing his obituary I had discovered his receiving them but knew no details of how. I was curious. I showed Bob the flag and Dad's medals along with the papers I obtained from the U.S. Military Archives hoping he could help me understand what happened. He took the time to explain the paperwork and interpret "military-ese". It was such a comforting experience that made me feel the connection that vets have with eachother. It also was a tangible presense of my Dad sitting with us and helping us explore the events of his Germany campaign. It eased my heavy heart a little knowing more about the man my Dad was as a veteran...a chapter of his life he rarely talked about except for his comicical stories and exploits. Bob shared a part of his own military life with me and revealed events about my Dad as well. He sat a little taller and cocked his head like he always did and told me about a time 50 years ago. Bob was that kind of man. He knew I needed healing and was there to lend a hand. I will always be grateful and feel a closeness because of that day we shared, discovering the past of an unknown vet/brother and easing the heart of a daughter left behind. Thank you Bob. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Dear Jim, Words can't express how sorry I am to hear about your Dad. He was a man of character that will be missed by many. He's reunited with those who have gone on before him and he's home now. The hard part is for us who are still here without him. I'll always think of him when I see that shillelagh by the back door.
