God puts very few people like Bob on this earth, then he even takes them back way to soon as they are needed elsewhere I guess . I had the pleasure  of working with Bob for years. I don’t ever recall him ever having harsh words for anyone, no matter what things they did to him. He took bad things seemingly in stride and could always pick out some  positive aspect and then  even get you to laugh about it. I pray his family is doing the best they can and know what an incredible person he was outside of his home. He was truly loved by many and was an incredible gift to all of us and a blessing to us all. Rest in peace brother. We’ll see you again soon. 

Much Love to Roseann, Kiresten and all who love Chip. He was a very kind and special person full of love  and empathy and had a true heart. We are all blessed to have had him in this life and I am sure he is having grand reunions with those who have passed before him. God Bless all who will miss him dearly. Sending hugs and healing energy to you, Roseann and Kiersten. Love Susie Mitzman Collins and Nancy Mitzman

       To the entire Read Family:  Words cannot express the immence loss of our great friend Chip. A mountain of a man that had such a huge personality  and would make you feel comfortable from the minute you meet him. A man that would be there for you in a heartbeat if you needed him. A man that was the life of the party wherever he was. A man who was loved by all he came to know, but that was just Chip. Words will never describe the loss we all feel, our only solace is to remember all the the wonderful times we spent with such a great human being, because that's how he would have wanted it. It was an honor and a privilege to have been a part of his life and to have known such a wonderful human being. I will miss you my friend, rest in peace.

To the entire Read Family. Words can not describe the immence loss we are all feeling with the passing of our great friend Chip. A mountain of a man with the heart of the same size. Chip had the personality that would light up any room, and you immediately liked him weather  you knew him or not. A man that would drop whatever he was doing to help you at any time. A man whose kindness was second to none and shared by all he knew. It was my privilege and honor to  know such a wonderful human being, you will be sadly missed my friend. Rest in peace.

Dear Gail and Karen,  we are so broken hearted to hear of the passing of Chip.  His struggles have ended and he now is in the arms of Angels.  Know that we are so sad and words are hard to find to express how much he will be missed.  He was brave and strong to the very end and gave that strength to all of us.  Our last words to each other a few days before were  "I love you".   Powerful words that were truly from our hearts.  
Love Uncle Arnie and Aunt Charlotte

Dear RoseAnn and Kirsten, We are so profoundly broken hearted for you both.  Our family is so saddened by your loss and ours.  Even though the miles have kept us apart you have always been thought of with so much love.  We will always miss hearing Chip saying "HI Uncle Arnie and Aunt Char".  Or the holidays when he was always first to arrive and him saying "where are my sisters".  Those were wonderful and fun times.  God Bless and prayers to you both. 

 Robert Thomas Read III, you have blessed this world with your presence and being such a wonderful and kind nephew and cousin. You will forever be in our hearts and memories.  You are now safe in the arms of Angels.  We will see you again.
