Flo, Kathleen, Tim, Mike, Peg and Rob and your families,

Our sincerest condolences to all of you for your loss. We remember Bob for the wonderfully happy, fun man that he was, and for the wonderful friends he and you, Flo were to us and to our family when we first came to Belmar. While Bob will be missed, he has left us with so many delightful memories and good times, that we will smile widely each time we think of him. And be certain that we do and will think of him and all of you often.
