There is much sadness in our hearts at Bob's passing.  There is also joy in being privileged to know him, spend time with him and call him a good friend and neighbor.  He was smart, funny, kind and generous.  He will be sadly missed.  We send our heartfelt sympathy to his loving family.
                                             Sincerely,  Bill and Gail Moore,  Sun Lakes, Az.

Carolyn, my thoughts and prayers  are with you and the family. He is now in the arms of Jesus. May God give you the peace and comfort that only He can give at this time.

Win or lose, we always had great fun playing the tournaments.  Remember, in this life a person has a lot of acquaintances but few friends.  May we meet again, friend.  Jack Epps and Doris

Carolyn, Sandra and I express our sympathy to you and your family.  We will truly miss Bob.  We will be in touch with you at a later date .Cousin Mark & Sandra

Dear Carolyn and family, As a great friend on and off the courts and at the bridge table, words can not express how much Bob will be missed. We know his spirit will always live on in our hearts.

Bob was a great explorer.  When he was younger he loved Europe and later took many mystery trips overseas.  When he got older he continued to explore places in the states and abroad such as the Panama Canal, Ireland, New Zealand and Australia.
The one thing he did not like exploring was the food.  If he did not recognize it he did not want to try it.  At 80 years old of age he changed.  He finally admitted to liking an occasional Chinese dish.
A gifted man with many talents.  You might say a quasi renaissance man with interest in business, sports, the arts, music and most of all his family.
Love, your brother and sister-in-law Steven and Debbie.

      we remember Bob  always smiling.  He will be missed by everyone who knew him. May he smile on us until we all meet again  Bill and Neda Mead

Carolyn, Sarah and I send our heartfelt condolences.  Bob was always a delight to be around.  He made us all feel joyful.  Kelz & Sarah Kelzenberg

Dear Carolyn and all the Urich's, 
Don and I are so sad to hear about Bob.  We enjoyed all of the photos in the gallery.  We have such great memories of all of your family but that Bob was a special guy.  He was such a "player".  He could play piano, cards, baseball, tennis and golf! (I think I forgot bowling.)  He was good at everything.  We can see from your photos that you two had a lot of fun and many exciting adventures.  Hold on to those great memories, they will see you through.
Please know that you are in our prayers and we send our sympathy and love,  The Tolins

Dear Carolyn and Family:
My deepest sympathy to you and your family.  Bob was a great guy and a dear friend.  He will always be remembered by everyone as a terrific human being. He will be missed by all.
Stay strong....

Carolyn,
So sorry to hear about Bob.  I remember how kind you both were after Paul passed.  My heart and prayers are with you and your family.

Carolyn,
We are very sadden of the loss of Bob. He was such a joy and great guy. We will have many fond memories of his sharing and caring of those whose lives he touched. We are here to help you in the coming months with any needs you may have. Friends always. Jim & Cathy Dittmann

I will miss Bob's good humor and smiles on the tennis courts.
Our condolences to Carolyn and family.

Dearest Carolyn and Family, 
It is with great sadness that Paula and I heard of Bob's death.  We were looking forward to some special time with you this summer.  
We want to share with you and the family the wonderful qualities we found in Bob. He was blessed with an abundance of the Master Emotion, Empathy.  His ways reflected a quiet caring and reflective insight.  His gentleness was seen in his loving and caring for you, family and friends.  He would seek advice and look for ways to help others.  His intelligence was greater than most knew and was practical and serving others. Paula and I want you to know that if there is any way we can assist you in the coming time ahead we are here for you. You and the family are in our thoughts and prayers.

With Sad Hearts,   Paula and Peter Gazzola, Sun Lakes AZ

"Dear Carolyn and Family, in the short time I have known Bob, since moving to Sun Lakes, I had the opportunity to get to know a man who was thoughtful, and kind not to mention could really handle a tennis racket. I will always remember the $2 bill he gave to me, in his words ... for no special reason at all."
