Bobby, our beloved former neighbor who was so much more to us and our children. Friend, advisor, supporter, grandfatherly, fatherly, babysitter, lender of tools. It is to much to think that you are gone and that we will nevermore receive your "bear hugs"! You and Irena have continued (and will continue) to be a part of our lives even 11-1/2 years after moving. It was a blessing to have lived next to you and have you in our lives. We love you and Irena and our hearts and prayers go out to all of your wonderful family. David & Julie - Jacob, Evan & Caroline Schnepper
