Dear Irene: I'm so sorry to hear about Bob's passing. I have wonderful memories of my time in the Building Department. Bob was a true friend that made me laugh with his stories and jokes. We all had such great times at our cottages.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sad time.
A big warm hug to you my dear friend
God bless

Dear Irene, I'm so sorry to hear this news. Hope you're ok. You have all my sincere sympathy. Bob was quite the unique character and I enjoyed spending time with him back in the day. I remember when you two became an item. I'm sorry I cannot attend the Funeral but my thoughts are with you and the family. Bob deserves a Metal for reaching such a ripe old age. He never ceased to amaze me.
You have always been very special to me and those feelings are still as strong as ever
My best regards,
John
