I am so sorry I can't give my condolences in person. Uncle Bob was a wonderful warm and kind man. He had a knack for coaxing a smile from an unsmiling child; I remember laughter and fun when I think back in time. Uncle Bob knew how to make you feel special. Add that skill to the Daoust eyes...sparkling and full of life when mischief is in the air, and you have a winner! - Posted by: Maureen Daoust (Family) on: May 09, 2005
