RIP Bob! Your family are in my thoughts and prayers. It was a privelege to be able to know you, and your wonderful family.
Deepest Sympthay to Bob's Entire family, I had the privilage and honor to being able to come out and help Bob when i worked for the Visiting nurses Assocation, Every time I would come he would be Laughing and always had a smile on his face, He enjoyed life, He will Never be forgotten......He was a trully remarkable person ........
To the entire family of Bob. You are all in my thoughts and prayers at this time of loss. I am so glad to have met Bob and been able to have him in my life as a great friend even if I only knew him about 3 years. I really felt as if I had known him my whole life. Working at Windmill and seeing Bob's face smiling every day was the best part of each and every day I worked there. He always made me smile and turn my day around when my day wasn't going so well. He would propel his wheelchair by me and tell me "Hey Sheila it only took me 14 minutes today and look I shaved myself today. It's all thanks to you." I would always tell Bob it wasn't me he did all the work I just helped get him stronger and he did it all. It was the most amazing person in the world. His outlook on life with him living with cerebral palsy was amazing. Nothing kept Bob down and he actually would help me to encourage other patients in therapy. He was terrific and I will not forget him ever. He was very special to me. I am glad that I met his wonderful family through the years also as they are the most terrific family and I am sharing in your loss of a wonderful son, brother, cousin, uncle for you and great friend to me. God Bless you all and RIP Bob.
I first met Bob at Spiveys in Tiffin and I was amazed at how he handled himself with such good nature and friendliness when I was told he had been in that position all his life. As I got to know the entire family I could see where his courage and high spirits came from . Each one gave him a reason to live each day with determination and devotion.
Bob "you are my ghost rider in the sky." I am really going to miss you. You have an awesome family and I am glad to have been a part of your life and thru you, their lives also.
It's times like these when the strength and closeness of a family really shows. I have known Bob and his family for 19 years. Over this time I have seen what it means to be a real family.
I am so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I remember when Jeff and I first started dating and he was going to take me fishing at "George's Pond". He took me to the bait shop in Tiffin to meet Bob and get some worms. I remember spending alot of time there just visiting. Very nice man. Keep the memories alive, and he will always be with you.

Janssen family,
I am so sorry about the passing of Bob. I only met Bob a few times but he left a lasting feeling of warmth and kindness in my heart. I am sorry I cannot attend the funeral, however, Neil will be there.
Rick, Jan and Family,
I'm sorry for your loss. You're all in my thoughts and prayers. May Bob rest in peace with the Lord.
Two words:Great Guy!
Linda, I never met your brother, but you've mentioned him from time to time, and of course I recognized the name Janssen. Any guy who loved to fish is alright! Condolences to your family.
I should not have sent my message so fast and soon after hearing the news of Roberts passing. Sorry Roger
Gertrude and family, I am so saddened by the news of Rogers passing. It was such a pleasure getting to know him when I worked at Windmill. I have thought of him often, usually when I am fishing, and that is often. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless Roger, he was one of a kind.
Roger, so sorry to hear of the loss of your brother Bob..Keeping you and your family close in thought and prayer..Michael & Candy (Moffit) Stolte
Gertrude,
I am very sorry to learn of Bob's passing. I only knew him in his later life at Windmill Manor but he was a tremendous person and I was glad to have known him. I always appreciated how astute he was. He will be missed by all who knew him.
Gert, Rog, Rick, LInda, Dave and the rest of Bob's family,
Aggie and I have had the privilege of knowing Bob for many years and always admired his strength. Through Dave and Kristin we have been able to keep current on his welfare and, most recently, his struggles with cancer. His passing is a loss for all who knew him, but certainly provided the relief he couldn't expect from that horrible disease. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Treasure the memories you have of Bob.
Gert, Roger, Linda, Rick
Rog and all,
I am so sorry to hear you have lost your friend and brother. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

I have some great memories of Bob sitting in the doorway of the garage waiting for his bait customers. The kids used to beg to go see the guy with
"WORMS." We shared some good laughs about that. He was quite a guy.......
always loved company, didn't he. When we lived in Tiffin and took the kids for a walk, we always had to walk by & see if Bob was there & stop & say hello. Our kids grew up with some fond memories of him in the neighborhood. He was quite a guy!
Dear Gertrude and family,
Gert & family,
We are so sad to hear of Bob's passing. He was such a great guy. Living across the street from you guys I have fond memories of going over to Bob's shop & buying worms when I was a little girl. I don't know why I got them b/c I don't ever remember going fishing. I think it was an excuse to visit Bob. He was a happy guy with a smile on his face. I was always amazed at all that he could do in his chair & he was so determined. I will remember him for his kindness & that contagious smile.
