I thought about Bob a lot yesterday...played my "Everyone Loves Bob" cd and a few Rolling Stones songs. I miss our emails sharing latest Stones news and excitement over upcoming concerts...I wanted to tell him that I had tickets for Nashville because I knew he would share in my excitement (covid postponement of course) but I smile when I recall our few times of meeting at Bill's or Macomb gang get-togethers...it was always a fun time when Bob was around. I hope you also had many smiles yesterday while sharing cherished memories of him. Yo ho Bob! And hugs to all of you...

It was always fun growing up with Bob as a cousin. One memory: we always picked Bob up for afternoon kindergarten. One day when we stopped to pick Bob up “Bobby Sam and Jimmy Lee” had just gotten new bows and arrows with suction cup ends. They were waiting for me. When I walked through the door I got it from both sides. Of course I cried and they got in trouble.
So many good memories. We’re thinking of you all. Much love from your family in Rushville. God bless you all.

Michelle - glad to see your note. I have been thinking of Bob as this day approached. Please enjoy all of those great times with him - he was one of a kind. Love to Pam too! Roger Wolff

Will be thinking of you all and Bob tomorrow. My last memory of us together was when Tom J. was working on the boat on the Chicago River that did sightseeing tours of the Chicago architecture. We celebrated Nancy, your Aunt Debi and my 60th bdays that summer and afterwards all went out to dinner. We had a lot of great laughs and so much fun that night. Bob was always cracking jokes. So much fun to be around. He is loved and missed by so many! Love to you, Pam and your family!

I remember the summer Tom and I lived in Arlington Heights. Tom was at work and your mom and dad invited me to go to the racetrack with them and the grandkids. It was senior day! Your dad gave me a crash course on betting. I don’t recall winning any money, but I do remember a lot of laughs. Your dad and mom always knew how to to enjoy the moment and have a good time. Glad you guys are having a party as he would have wanted; he will be there. Love you all.

Hard to believe it is a year! I still have the pack of Beato O'Rourke breath mints in my golf bag that he gave me . Every time I see it, I have a mint and think of Bob. I think of Bob a lot but I use the mints sparingly to make them last.
We are all missing Bobbo!!! I figured I would have it made at Arlington Park with my new heavenly handicapper giving me the right picks! I'm not sure if he would share his heavenly wisdom because he loved to see me lose! We are with you in spirit tomorrow. I will raise a GIN in his memory tomorrow!

I have a permanent reminder of cousin Bobby from 6th grade. Kathy and I were playing at his house when Mom and Wanda went uptown to shop. I had a bike wreck and skinned my knee up pretty good. No grownups were there to help so Bobby and Kathy (who decided they were going to be a doctor and a nurse when they grew up) picked out the rocks and bandaged me up. I still have the scar on my right knee. 🤣
