IN MEMORY OF BOB

In Memory of Bob Niehaus died Friday, July 1, 1940 - January 7, 2022 🙏🏻

My “Cousin Niehaus,”

A legend passed away,

Today,

Gone before us,

To teach you and I ,

One more lesson in life,

The lesson,

How to die.

Death, be not proud,

For you have stole,

A soulmate,

from the crowd:

A kind man, a husband,

Children, a family,

Blessed with grandchildren,

Of him we all are proud.

Though gone,

Yet to be,

Long remembered,

His spirit rests with God,

Yet lingers in the souls,

Of the good souls,

That knew him well,

Here on Oz.

At peace,

At home,

Bob, watch over us.

Memories you take with you,

Memories left behind,

To continue to bless our journey.

Those memories on our mind.

Though body and soul go with Bob,

His spirit still remains,

In the hearts and depths of those close to Him,

Believe?

Just ask him,

A question now,

His spirit renewed in his refrain.

I shall remember,

My friend, Bob,

By his goodness,

And eternal smile,

His endless sense of humor,

And laughter beguiled,

His gut wrenchingly funny

Stories

And bear-

Hugs shared.

I am blessed,

That Bob and I,

Met along the way,

Let us Pray,

May the soul of this faithful departed,

Now,

In the hands of God,

Rest In Final Peace. Amen.
