I'm the "baby" of the family and while Bob was 16 years older than me, he was my friend as well as my brother. I love him deeply and can't believe he's gone. He was a man I admired (and still do!) for so many wonderful traits - smart, funny, humble, generous, deeply committed to our family, loyal, passionate about justice and the world around him - and a lover of having a good time! He loved OU, his friends, his family, MUSIC, travel, live theater, a great meal, and travel. He loved our parents and made them proud - he made me proud, too, so proud he was my "oldest brother." He's always been there for me - for advice, support, counsel, humor, just "hanging out" etc. We shared our love for books and reading, often trading favorite authors and books. We shared our love of music (he took me to see The Supremes - after Diana left - at Disneyland when I was just a kid!), movies, theater, and a deep concern for our mom in her later years. Without him, mom... less
Donald TormeyStill Tim! There's so much more I can say and will at some point in time. For now, Bob, please just know how much I love and miss you. Thank you for everything - knowing you and being your "baby brother" has made me a better man than I'd ever known... moreStill Tim! There's so much more I can say and will at some point in time. For now, Bob, please just know how much I love and miss you. Thank you for everything - knowing you and being your "baby brother" has made me a better man than I'd ever known possible. Rest well, without pain, and in joy - with mom and dad, and all our beloved friends and family who've gone before us. And please pray for us - I know you will, because you always looked after us and the nieces/nephews. You took your role as "big brother" very seriously! <3 less
