Still miss you, Mr. Seidel. I still cherish the memories of you and your family as our old neighbors. Your son, Bobby, was my bestest playmate ever.
Peace, eternal,

We still miss Bob. I think about the old neighborhood quite often even though I don't have the nerve to simply drive past it anymore. Nothing but great memories and Mr. Seidel was a big part of them.
Peace eternal,
Bob & Pat Cesare

My deepest condolences go out to the entire Seidel family. Mr. Seidel(Bob) and his family were our first and best neighbors we could have ever wished when our family moved to Norwalk back in 1960. Our homes were each others home. His son Bobby(Bubba) was my best buddy and playmate growing up and his Dad seemed a ten foot tall gentle giant. Always with his pipe and a smile, his eyes would turn into slits as he'd laugh. He was made for the outdoors. As long as there was any daylight, he was working in the yard and it was beautifully perfect. If we ever needed help with anything, he was there. We shared vacations, holidays, birthdays and neighborhood parties. Our old neighborhood seems to be slowly getting back together again and if Heaven needs some grounds keeping, God has his man. May Bob and his wife, Ruth, be happy again together in the arms of our Lord.
Love & peace eternal,
Bob & Pat Cesare

We have lost so many of the generation. My Dad left us March 5th of this year. So I know what you are going through. I thought the world of your Dad. He will be missed! Thinking of all of you, Bobby, Stevie, Kevin, and especially Tina!
