My favorite uncle of all time! Always had many stories to share and nobody could share them as well as Uncle Bob. Would always put a smile on your face even in the worst of times. A great man who be missed by all who knew and loved him. Michael Ruane

Robert was a great man who loved his wife and family and did so much for everyone. He was a hardworking man and loved his faith. He will be deeply missed. God bless the family. Love you all! Betty Hedderman

Aunt Marge and family, sending my deepest condolences and prayers. Uncle Robert will be greatly missed!

Aunt Margie, Bobby, Maureen, Sheila, Eileen, Kathleen, Peggy and families, Lori and I are sending our condolences and prayers from down here in Atlanta. Your dad was, indeed, a very special person. A kinder man I have never met and he will be greatly missed. I will ...

Dear Family, I am saddened by the news of Uncle Bob’s passing. I will always remember him as a family man, who adored his wife and seven children, was a great storyteller, and hard worker. Always ready with a quip or joke. He selfless gave of his (and Aunt Marge’s) time and talents to help others. It was sad to see his health deteriorate in the last few years and see him not be able to do or go wherever he used to. I recall Uncle Bob and my dad playing the ‘call the wizard game’,offering to listen to confessions or marry people in the hospitals by wearing a black shirt and collar and pretending to be a priest. I’m left with awesome memories that I’ll cherish for the rest of my life! Hugs to all my family! Love, Angela Walsh

I'm so sorry for your loss. May you find peace in your memories.
