I am so sorry for your loss. Bob was the kindest man I have known.

My deepest condolences Patty and family. The virtual funeral service was a tribute to my dear nephew who was taken from this earth way to soon. In loving memory of him. Love always, Auntie Frannie

Leonard and I pour out our love to you Pat and your daughters and their husbands and children. We are very sorry for the loss of Bobby. I personally am speechless. I remember Aunt Jenny when she was pregnant with Bob. I remember the thrill and excitement when he was born. He was a blessing to everyone when we were kids. He became an even bigger blessing from God as a husband, father, and grandfather. Our hearts weep with you. He is with God now and Laura. May God bless you all and give you the comfort only He can bring. Love you, Leonard and Theresa Hester.

I am terribly saddened to hear this news. As a municipal finance professional in the Chicago area, our paths crossed often. We served together on the IMET Board of Trustees. Bob was not only an excellent professional, but a very good friend to all who had the fortune to know him. His sense of humor and passion were contagious. His love for his family was always evident. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Oh my dear, Pat. I am completely speechless on hearing of Bob’s passing. He was a wonderful man and you were such a loving family. Be comforted that he and Laura are once again together and watching over you all. Fondly, JoAnne

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Dear Pat, Susan, Cheryl,I was shocked and saddened to hear about Bob. How hard! He's such a great guy. Our prayers for all of you. He is with his Lord now.

Dear Nowak family,I am so sorry to hear about your dad/husband. We are praying for you during this difficult time. We pray that the LORD give you peace, comfort, and hope while you are lamenting and mourning this loss. A big hug to each of you.With love,Tesh and the Yu family (Steve, Xela, and Yaíza)

Dear Patty, I’m so sorry to hear of your sudden loss of your husband Bob. I met you many years ago through Jenny and our mutual gifts of special needs girls. Though we haven’t seen each other since that time I have always felt a deep connection. My prayers are with you and the family in this difficult time.

Pat, I'm so sorry to hear about Bobby. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I am proud to be his cousin, he will be missed by all. Rest in peace Bobby and may the light of GOD shine on you.

I was an eight year old little girl when my Mom took me shopping and told me I could pick out a present for my new little cousin Bobby. I remember as if it were yesterday. I thought would boys like the same things girls do? My final choice was a stuffed toy monkey. I think he enjoyed it! God bless you Bob. You made us so happy.

I am so sorry to learn of Bob's passing. I was fortunate to work with him for many years when he was Village Finance Manager and I was the Director of the Skokie Public Library. He was always friendly and helpful, particularly in arranging for the bonds for the Library's construction project in 2001. My condolences to his family members of whom he was so proud.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to you Patty and the family. He was a wonderful cousin, gone way to soon.... With all our love, The Zachara family, Aunt Fran, Kathy, Karan, Jake, Tim, Mary and Jenny

I was saddened to hear of Bob's passing but know that he is with Laura in his heavenly home. He was a great fellow employee and made the world a better place to live in. My heartfelt condolences to his family members.

So sorry to hear. Lost a Great young Man way to early. Prayers are with your family,

I am beyond devistated. Bob was a wonderful and kind man. He had a great demeanor and was always ready to help in any situation. He was also very supportive in people's endeavors. I worked with him for many years and we shared both personal and professional things that occured in our lives. He was easy to talk to and very comforting when things were troublesome. He had a way to put your mind at ease. He loved his work, but oh so loved his family and always shared stories, especially the ones about the dog. To me, he seemed like the ideal father and husband. Pat, my heart breaks for you and your entire family. This is such a huge loss. Please accept my deepest heartfelt thoughts and prayers. I know the next few weeks will be very hard on you. Again, I am so very sorry for your loss. Eternal be his memory.

I am so very sorry to find out about this in credibly sad news. My deepest condolences to Pat and her family. He was devoted to his beautiful family and friends. Words can't express my sadness So very sorry

Deepest condolences. Mr. Nowak had a big heart and was the head of a loving, caring, welcoming Christian family. May happy memories be a comfort in this sad time. May God's blessings be with the Nowak family.

My deepest condolences. I got to know Bob while he worked at the City of Bloomington consulting in the Finance department. Although, I did not know him long the impression he made on me will last. I am already praying for him and your family. He loved God and his Family.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

To know Bob is to love Bob! Praying, grieving and wanting to cover you and your family in much love and comfort.,..words can not convey sorrow for missing him now.....Praising and thanking God we know Bob is with Jesus and his daughter as we miss them here knowing eternity is future for reunion to those who love Jesus as Lord. Bob walked the walk.

Pat, I am deeply saddened to hear this news. Bob was the very first one to welcome me to Skokie Valley Baptist Church on July 12, 2015. Michael invited me to church and while he was at prayer before service, I was waiting outside, sitting on the bench, when Bob approached me. He welcomed me and was very kind. At a low point in my life, God put Bob in my path at the most perfect time. I can tell you that it helped influence my decision that day when Pastor Ed asked me to accept Christ as my Savior. Bob was genuinely straight forward in our conversation and I am forever thankful for meeting him that morning. I have been praying for you and your family during this time. I hope that your grief is not over-shadowed by your fond memories. My deepest condolences to you, John Scheinpflug

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
