Bob Sweeney
nobody really knows the troubles another sees,
the sorrows they wake up with,
the effort they live behind their smiles,
Bob Sweeney was not just a good man,
he was a great man in his touch upon the world,
until this week,
his touch upon his family, the kids who brightly shine,
his partnership with his wife who built with him home and family,
he loved to do, to change the landscape with his vision,
to take care of every need he could see,
every person with whom he bonded,
I feel tragedy in his loss to us,
in his inexplicable leaving,
I feel cheated to still be in a world
without his smile, without his touch,
I wish he could have taken as good care of himself,
as how well he took care of everyone else for years.

Henry,
Truer words could not be spoken! Bob and Stephanie shared with us how wonderful you were to them, we even had the pleasure of going to your cabin early on, prior to the fire. Bob was a dear friend to me and especially to my husband. No one had a clue his life would end as it did. Our memory of Bob will always be filled with smiles and laughter!
