Bob was such a sweet and friendly man. I remmeber he always had a smile and a warm hello when talking with him. I know how much he was loved by his family, and how proud he was of them. No one can fill that void, but I hope the memories of him help…
Dear Train family, I’m so sorry to hear the news of Bo’s passing.Although no one would want him to suffer,it does always make us wonder why God takes someone so young.I guess he will have a lot of family to keep him company in heaven.My sincerest condolences. Janet Schomske,one of Stephen and Laura’s nurses
Dear Train Family, Some of you I have met and most I have not. I have not seen Bob in over 30 years but there are no comments contained in the condolences that don’t fit the young man I knew in high school and college. His laugh was always a gift and his passion for all sorts of competition (sports certainly included) made for no dull moments around him. I will keep you in my prayers. He will be with you always, just a dimension away as his is now with his father.
Erin, My thoughts and prayers are with you, your mother and your sister. I wish you comfort at this time of loss, and peace in time. Lisa

Kathy and Family, My heart goes out to you at this time. Bob was a very nice man. Please accept my condolences. Carol Sassone
Kathy, Meghan and Erin, We want you to know that we share in your sadness. Always know that Bob will live on in those he touched throughout his life. He is present every day in his two beautiful daughters, and a part of him is present every day in our daughters, especially Michelle. Bob and Kathy were like second parents to Michelle, always encouraging her and showing her, through example and love, how to be courageous and caring and to have a strong character. Bob touched her life and is an important part of who she is today. We will always be grateful for that. We send you our love and prayers.
Kathy: I was saddened to read of your loss. Your husband sounds like he was a very special man and I’m sure you will cherish many special memories. My ‘heart’felt sympathies to you and your family. Deborah Genrich
