Uncle Bob was a great man who I loved like a father! He was devoted to taking care of my Aunt for over 38 years. I loved talking to him over the years and going crabbing over the years with him and Mark. My heart is hurting and broken right now. I know he is in heaven now with his love my aunt and all his and her family members. He is at peace now and thats what gives me comfort. God Bless you!
