I will miss you Uncle Bob. You were a good soul on this earth. I remember a time when we were swimming at Sears Bellows in East Quogue with you all. As we were leaving you came up to the car and gave me and my brothers $5 and said "I love you boys". I knew you didnt have a whole bunch of money and it just stuck with me how giving and loving you were. I think we bought Monopoly with that money. Thats how you always were - giving more then you had and loving like it was your last day. I will miss how you loved Aunt Carol, your kids, and all your family. I will miss how you always made us laugh. I will miss how you cut coupons to use at Double Coupon sales and then would give my brother 13 bottles of ketchup or 10 tubes of toothpaste. I will miss how you carried a styrofoam Burger King cup in your car and then would refill in in Burger Kings around Long Island. We could all learn a lot from how you lived your life: Love your family with all your heart, make people laugh, give more then you have, smile a lot (even if you dont have teeth), and generally live life with lots of joy. I Love you, Uncle Bobby, and I will miss you. Give Aunt Carol a big hug for me.

One of the jokes I can remember Uncle Bob telling. Can you add any?:

A man is skydiving, enjoying his free-fall, when he realizes that he has reached the altitude where he must open his parachute. So he pulls on the rip cord, but nothing happens. "No problem," he says to himself, "I still have my emergency chute." So he pulls the rip cord on his emergency parachute, and once again, nothing happens.
Now the man begins to panic. "What am I going to do?" he thinks, "I'm a goner ..."
Just then he sees a man flying up from the earth toward him. He can't figure out where this man is coming from or what he's doing, but he thinks to himself, "Maybe he can help me. If he can't, then I'm done for."
When the man gets close enough to him, the skydiver cups his hands and shouts down, "Hey, do you know anything about parachutes?"
The other man replies, "No! Do you know anything about gas stoves?"
