Bob’s Story

Site created on January 27, 2022

Welcome to our CaringBridge website. We are using it to keep family and friends updated in one place. We appreciate your support and words of hope and encouragement. Thank you for visiting.

As you all know dad has a lot of family and friends praying for him.  We wanted to create a place where you are able to share your prayers,  love and stories, along with dad's journey of kicking this brain tumors ass!  

On January 24, 2022 Bob was diagnosed with a brain tumor on the left side of his brain.  He received brain surgery on January 26. 2022. The surgery was successful in that it removed as much of the tumor as possible. He was in the ICU until January 28th. He was released from the ICU to home.  Dad is home and getting his strength back.  He is doing well recovering from surgery.


We are waiting on pathology reports to set up next steps. Dad will be getting his staples out on February 7th.

Journal entry by Shawn Manders-O'Brien

Can't believe tomorrow will be one year since you are gone. It seems like yesterday most days. I look though photos to see your smile and watch videos to hear your voice. I miss our talks, quick trips to the store that turned into hours, sitting with you at sporting events, road trips and just bidding you and Mom at home. I miss you every single day Dad! We will see you again in Heaven one day.  Until then keep watching over us. Don't forget to have a cold one waiting for when we see you! Love you Daddy!
