Dear Carol, I am so sorry for your loss of your dear husband, Bob. I remember when we did Oklahoma together and you were helping with props and Bob was giving us some of his input. Such good memories of times shared. May these fond memories be ever-present and carry you through the difficult times. With Sympathy, Barb Molina Guardian Angel Players Holy Guardian Angels parish

Carol, My condolences to you and your family. I am saddened by your loss. Both Judy and I very much enjoyed our times together at Radiofest for many years. Bob was a great guy with a very big heart. I always enjoyed and learned from our conversations. Judy as well. My precious Judy passed away more than 2 years ago. I share your sadness. There will be a special place in my memory and heart for Bob.

Dear Carol,Alto Buddy, and dear Bob. Both of you have been in my prayers for years. I always enjoyed a speaker phone visit and imagined your smile, Bob. A favorite visit I remember was a trip to the Lizzadro Museum after an art show. I believe that you are looking over your/our dear Carol. There have to be Antique Radio enthusiasts in Heaven. Enjoy...no more pain. Love you Both, Lee

I knew Bob and Carol through the Antique Radio Club of Illinois. Bob was a great guy, very knowledgeable, always with a smile and handshake at the meets. I'll miss him.

Although I never worked directly with Bob during my two decades at ComEd I did know him socially (through others in The Company). I look back pleasantly to the extended breakfasts we often shared with Bob and Carol, the Hajeks, my wife and I. Collectively we never completely straightened out the problems of the world but not for lack of trying. Seriously, Bob was a good conversationalist, always positive, energetic, interested in a half-dozen projects (it seems to me). Let me say it: Bob was fun. Although far too many years have passed since we last got together, I think of him occasionally with great fondness. The loss of a good man is never easy. My condolences, Carol. I hope you derive some comfort in knowing family, co-workers, friends and even distant acquaintances are mourning your loss as well.

Carol, I'm so sorry for your loss. I have so many fond memories of him. Uncle Bob blessed me with many wonderful memories growing up. He had a way of making everything fun. From Cessna rides, to cruising in his red convertible or his firebird. Picnics at the park with a castle. He made life an adventure full of laughs and lots of smiles. He will always be thought of with much fondness. I'm glad he had someone as wonderful as you to make him happy, in this wonderful adventure we call life. With love always. Carol, are in my thoughts and prayers Stacie Ann
