I look forward to the day when I see my brother and our Lord Jesus Christ in heaven. You are loved, and you are missed Robert.

We are sorry for Robert's passing and pray peace of mind and comfort of heart for all the family. We remember our father Joe would say Robert was always a very bright kid. He will be fondly remembered. We place our trust in Jesus and the hope He has given us. 1 Peter 1:3-9

I wanted to tell you all how much Bob meant to me.  He was a wonderful brother that always made us laugh.  For the first eight years of his life he had brothers around him and since he was five years younger than the next younger brother he had to survive on his personality and wit. He was much loved. 
He commented that after we all had moved out of the house that we had all left him alone.  It must have been a difficult transition. When I had joined the US Navy after about five days, I had an infection and was sent to the hospital.  Alone in the hospital bed I was home sick and missed Bob terribly.  Not having him around was tough.
Fast forward forty (40) years and Bob is holding on to dear life in a hospital bed without the ability to speak.  I got to visit him three days in a row in December and knew he could hear me.  He would blink his eyes showing he could hear me.  After I told him how much I missed him I saw a small tear in the corner of his eye.  That tear tore me up inside.  
Through all of these difficult times my mother took care of Bob for the last 30+ years.  She had to deal with different doctors and new facilities frequently to take care of Bob. She was always upbeat.  When I would call her and ask how Bob was doing she was hesitant to tell me if he was not doing well so I would not be upset.  My Mom had to deal with the day-to-day problems but was concerned with the effect the news would have on others.  My Mother was the Rock that was always there to take care of the problems.  
I wish I was around more to help.  Rest in peace.
Love Mike Skratulia

We will miss you, Bob--your funny jokes, your spirit, your love.  You have always been a special person in our lives.  We look forward to being with you again in heaven, with your dad, brother Joe, Grandmas & Grandpas and Aunt Mary. You will never be forgotten.  With much love, Mom
