a good and gentle person
was too quickly called away.
now anguish is in our hearts
for this sad and mournful day.

a blessing to his loved ones
and to each devoted friend.
a great many tears will flow
to realize this dear man's end.

though our hearts will be heavy
and filled with much pain and grief
through trust in our Redeemer
we'll find solace and relief.

for those who came to know him
and be a part of bob's life
he was a friend, a brother,
a dad; and cherished his wife.

we'll treasure the memories
to turn over and again.
like a movie with no sound
that's played ev'ry now and then.

although he may be parted
from this existence of life,
he is now free from worry,
his difficulties and strife.

bob's with his dad and mother
'twas a man like no other;
know that when your days here end
once more we'll see this sweet friend.
