Bob zal herinnerd worden als een vrolijk man, altijd lachen, altijd optimist. Een intelligent man die veel bereikt heeft in het leven door hard te werken. Een levensgenieter vooral die de dag nam zoals hij kwam en die klaarstond om anderen te helpen, zoals mensen naar de dialyse te brengen.
Een man met veel liefde en respect voor jou Sonja, voor zijn twee dochters Donna en Deborah en voor de kleinkinderen. Hij was zo fier op jullie allemaal. Een warm man die alles kon schrijven met een kwinkslag, die zich zijn jeugd in Grobbendonk kristalhelder herinnerde, die zijn moedertaal nog perfect beheerste.
Voor altijd in ons hart.
