My heart goes out to the Abel family. I worked with their son Steve for twenty years at Lake Worth Utilities. Steve was blessed to have such a loving family. Steve told me many times when at work about the love for his dad and family. My condolence to you all.

I'm so sorry to hear that "Uncle Bob" has passed.  My heart is heavy but full of many wonderful memories of time spent at the Abel house - too numerous to count. He and Mrs Abel were wonderful friends to Mom and Dad and they shared many great times together over the past four + decades.   He was always loving and kind to me and came to my hour in need, along with other members of the clan, without hesitation and for that I am eternal grateful.  He holds a special place in my heart (always has) and will be dearly missed.  Love you Mr  A - 💜 
Love, Clairebaby

Bob, we're going to miss you!  We shared SO many good times together.  I guess even after +74 years of friendship, it all had to come to an end sometime.  You had a life filled with good times and fun.   I don't think you could ask for anything more than that.  You had a great family that loved you very much but no more than I did!  Now that you're gone, you'll be thought of more than you'll ever know.  There will continue to be many wishes that you were still with us; time after time!  Not much more I can say to express my feelings, but I know deep in my heart, you knew exactly how I felt about you.  We had a bond like no other and always will!

My condolences to the Abel family, growing up your family was like an extension of my own family and Robert treated me as such. He was a firm but caring man he will be dearly missed. 

All of you are in our prayers,
Art and Trudy Barus
