Dad, you are missed and loved more than you will ever know! I am not sure how my life looks without you in it. I will never forget how much you have helped me and stood by me in my times of need. I am thankful you are no longer going to experience any pain or sadness. Watch over us and protect us from heaven and we will see you when we get there!

You will certainly be missed, Bob. I always loved how bubbly, kind, and funny you were. I enjoyed your presence and how you made my daughter and me feel welcomed in the family. You always made me smile.

Bob, even though we weren't "blood" the love you showed my Mom, my sisters and I will never be forgotten.  You and Mom built a great life together, you provided for and took care of her when she could no longer care for herself gladly and without hesitation.  I will miss so much about you, but your selflessness, compassion and kindness you showed will always come to mind first. I love you!

Hey Bad Bob!!! I know that you were done and ready to go home. It’s selfish of me to want to keep you here any longer. Me and Adam and the girls will miss you so much. Especially mowing the lawn and drinking whiskey & 7 and swimming at Rins pool and you pranking me all the time. Till we meet again in Heaven boyfran! Love you forever!!!

I have only known you as Bobby Joe , our families were so very close. Our parents playing cards thru the night at the kitchen table, you and Tuffy taking me places in that 57 Chevy. You slamming my fingers in the Chevy and then you could not stop comforting me feeling so bad for it.  Had not seen you in ages but was sad to hear of your passing, Love you Bobby Joe  Canepari? Rest in Peace
