A peaceful rest, is what I hope, to help your loved ones here to cope. East of the sun, west of the moon, calling for you far too soon. Your parents waiting with all their love, to welcome you to the stars above. - Posted by: Gherkin (Niece) on: Apr 05, 2016

Uncle Bob (who preferred to be called Rob later in life) was a good man who enjoyed the simple things in life. He never gave up in spite of his health issues. Rob continued to take courses and solve crossword and sudoku puzzles until recently. Rob was a loving brother and friend to my Mom. Rob was also proud and I remember him challenging me to a weightlifting competition when I was in my prime playing Junior football and he gave me a run for my money. Rest in peace, Rob, and soar with the angels. - Posted by: Kevin (Nephew) on: Apr 03, 2016

Rob was my uncle. He had a lot of trials and tribulations throughout his life, particularly when he was young. However, the last 15 years had been wonderful, thanks to his sister (my mother Barb). He mellowed out and became quite jovial and seemed to enjoy life more than he ever had the chance to before. It will be difficult to get used to family get-togethers without him. Rest in peace, Grunkle Rob. Karin, Jim, Dakota, Carson, Brandon, Alyssa and Ethan Harper - Posted by: Karin Harper (Niece) on: Apr 03, 2016
