Life’s joys were spending time with family, driving the tractor on the farm, playing sheepshead, bingo and gambling.
Uncle Bob was such a pleasure to be around. So hard to think I won’t hear his voice again.
I’m going to miss a GREAT uncle. Love the picture of him cuz that’s him to a tee. Always smiling and having nothing bothering him. Loved the trips to great America when we were young. I always looked forward to seeing him everytime I saw my parents after I left home. He will 0be GREATLY missed but FOREVER in everyone’s hearts. Love him so very much💞💕💘💔🥰🥰🥰
I will miss this wonderful man. He was so kind and caring. I’m so grateful that he was part of my family – well, my adopted family: my sister’s husband’s family, The Jorgensen’s. Sending love and condolences to the whole family.
Uncle Bob-
I as a child spent a lot of time at the farm with Grandpa and Grandma, you and Uncle Champ. Stone picking was not one of my favorites, unless you let me drive tractor, and often I did. I was Soooo proud. Baling hay was not top of my list of favorites, unless you let me drive tractor, and often I did. I was Soooo proud. When unloading hay, I was in the mow and it often seemed to be 90 degrees at night! While you were unloading bales onto elevator I was always amazed how the elevator continued to be loaded, bale after bale after bale! I have looked back at it over the years and realized I loved every minute of it. Through 63 years I have had the honor of not only being your nephew, but having you as a trusted, loyal friend. I have never seen you angry, moody or down. I have never heard you say anything negative about anyone. I will miss the gambling overnight trips at HoChunk and Potto. I also enjoyed the bus trips. Everything you, Aunt Sheila, Uncle Champ and Aunt Cheryl did for my Mom in her later years was so much of a help. I was always amazed at your memories of dates, especially birth dates and anniversaries. I seen cousin Linda’s post about you taking them to Great America. I will never forget you and Aunt Sheila taking us to River View theme park, in one of the worst parts of Chicago. Something happened there that only a few of our closest relatives know. But long story short “Unckey” you did save my life. We have joked about it for many years after! R.I.P. my Uncle, my friend. I love you and the memories will live on forever. Love Yog Let’s bring out Ruth, she’s back stage.
Uncle Bob- You made me feel welcomed to the family from day one, and acknowledged me as your niece, before we were even married. I felt special and so cherished and loved by your acts of kindness such as taking me on a ride with the golf cart at 7 Mile fair. Your strong farmer hands reminded me of my childhood as a farmers daughter. Your easy smile and conversations, brightened my day, and I looked forward to our chats on the phone. You honored me and Yog with the first dance at our wedding. This is not good bye, but see you later. I will end this chat as I always did, “ I love you.” Your niece Ruth
I love the talks I had with Uncle Bob. I remember him taking all of us to the outdoor movie theatre. He always had a smile on his face. Love you!
So sorry to family.all I can say is.HE WAS ONE HELL OF A MAN!!! No better man on this earth in my eyes
