Bob will be remembered as quite the talker who loved to tell funny stories and could tell you in great detail about events of more than 80 years ago. We want to thank the ladies who have helped look after our Mom and Dad these last 2 years. They have been our angels. Maxine, Roxanne, Imelda, Patricia, Girlie, Tina, Sabina, Amy, Geraldine and Felisa. Because of them, we have been able to keep Mom and Dad in their home of 54 years, which meant so much to Dad. Bob is resting at Ogden Funeral Home at 4164 Sheppard Ave. East (just east of Midland Ave.). There will be a visitation on Wednesday, February 22nd from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. and a service at 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, February 23rd. In lieu of flowers, please go and enjoy some live music and think of Bob. We love and miss you Daddy
