First met Bob and Pearl when my family and I were living on Richmond Ave and Bob and Pearl were living upstairs! Have always enjoyed seeing them whenever we met! They were always so nice and friendly! Have not seen Bob in quite a while, but have thought of him.
Am so sorry to hear of his death! The world will miss a nice person like him, just like they do Pearl!
May God be with them and his friends and family!
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
May God bless the Quinn family in this time of loss.
We will all miss Bob at the Leicester Grill. He was always a pleasant person.
My heart and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May God’s peace bless you only the way His peace can. With Love, Judy Berkley and Family
Bob will always be remembered as a friend to all who knew him. He always had a smile and a kind word to say. He will be missed by Cedar Hill all the members there. Pearl and Bob are at home with Jesus. Some call it heaven, but they call it home.
