FAMILY TRIBUTE

What can you say about a giant of a man with the kindest of hearts? A heart that could feed the tiniest of birds until it could take flight, or lovingly hold his grand and great grandchildren ever so gentle and tight? Bob was that man. He was a big, loveable bear of a man. It seemed there was nothing he couldn't do. He loved puttering in his garage, working on his beloved cars. He was "Mr. Fix It", whether it was cars, lawnmowers, stero equipment, you name it. He was always there to lend a hand be it shoveling snow, mowing grass, or fixing your car. After retiring from Ford Motor Company, where he worked as an Inspector for many years, he enjoyed woodworking and spending time with his family and his beloved dog Molly, who joins him on his heavenly journey. Bob was an animal lover and will certainly be happy to be reunited with his pets that have passed before him. Bob was loved by many friends, neighbors and family and will truly be missed by all.
