So many great memories of Bob. Couple of great ones were going to the parade in DC, and watching the 4th of July fireworks from the Crystal City apartment’s balcony. We all had a great time.

I just received this sad news today. I want to express my sincere condolences to Kathy, Sara and Michael. I am so very sorry. If I would have known sooner, I would have attended the visitation. I am so sorry that I wasn’t there. Bob was a wonderful man and we all loved him very much. We will never forget him. Please accept my apologies for not attending. Bob was an inspiration. He was a very caring person and always wanted the best for everyone. He will be missed by many. God bless him. RIP Bob. The Lord called you home….God wanted another Angel. May God bless you all and may He grant you peace during this difficult time. Love to you all The Nicholas Family
I would love to share a memory.This was my Dad that passed away in July. The memory was a farther that walked away from 6 children 40 years ago and did not want to have anything to do with his 6 children.Then to read his obituary today 12-1-2020 and not one of his 6 children were told.I morn my farther 40 years ago when he left 6 children behind.I just want to make sure that everyone knows he had 6 children that were not mentioned in his obituary.I was an awe full way for me to find out this way. I hope he Rest In Peace and for Cathy shame on you.
I did not know Mr Cain but he was the brother to my father Edwin Cain. I grew up without the Cains, curious of extended family. I feel happy to have connected to many first cousins. Cousins are first friends… Be at peace in life and loss heal through grief and know the question is Cain Abel, what many ask each day.
My name is Robert Cain I was named after my uncle bob and have always been honored to be named after him. I have very found memory’s of him that will last my lifetime. Rip
