My heart and sorrow goes out to the Buchbaum family. He was a good man, always made you laugh and had a joke to tell you. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Lynn and Family Buchbaum,

My sincerest condolences at this sad time. I didn’t know Bob, but from what I have read he was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed by everyone. I’m especially sorry that he suffered from serious health problems for a long period of time.
Sincerely,
Loretta

Eulogy to my Father.
 He was loving, caring, strong, honest, faithfull, generous, intelligant, kind, understanding, couragous, loyal, trustworthy and fun. The list of adjectives to describe his goodness can go on and on. But possibly the best of his attributes was his sense of humor. He could bring a smile to your face no matter what your mood was. I inherited alot of my father’s characteristics, some better than others. I have hypertension, high cholesteral and other numerous ailments from my bloodline. But I also inherited that same sense of humor as him. If God said, Danny I will remove all your ailments but I must take your sense of humor as well, I would say no thank you Lord. This was a man of honor to be looked up to and admired.
  Proverbs 19:21 says "Many are the plan’s in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails."
  Nobody is ever prepared to loose a loved one. This may be a time for tears and sorrow, but is also a time to rejoice. My father is finally in a place with no pain. Anbody that knew Robert knows he would not want us crying our eyes out. This is a man that wanted tin cans draging behind the hearst like they do at weddings. I believe that with all the strife and turmoil in the world the Lord really just needed a man like my Dad for a good laugh. He would want us to come togeather and rejoice that the Lord has called one of his soldiers home.
  As my father lay dieing in the hospital I begged for the doctors to take my kidney, a heart valve. I even begged for them to give me an artifical heart and give my heart to save him. This was impossible due to his condition. But this was a man of such character that I would have done this in a millisecond, as he would have done the same for any of his family.
  This level of Love is the same that God has for all of us. As he sacrificed his own son for all our sins. And this is the level of love that I hope you all have, because one day you will surely need it.
  Myself and my family thank you all for your support, and may God bless us all.
Loving son of Robert Buchbaum, Danny Buchbaum.

So sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family….

Dear Lois and family,

So sorry to hear about Bob. He was a great person. He was a wonderful neighbor and role model to us kids growing up. He cared about us all. I remember the one summer he taught us how to roll quarters down our faces, starting up on our foreheads and then rolling the quarter down to our chin. When we got to the chin we let the quarter go and try to land on circles we had traced on paper by going around the outside edge of the quarter with a pencil. You kept trying this until you eventually got the quarter on the target. Meanwhile everyone is laughing at you. After making the target Bob held up a mirror and here we had pencil trails going all down our faces. He was a real jokester! He would come over and just sit and talk with Mom and Dad and all of us sitting on the front porch. He had been through so many health problems but we never heard him complain. He’d tell us what all was wrong and just accept it for what life dealt him. He was an encouragement. Cherish all the memories you have of him. It might be painful for now but those memories will become happy times and a source of strength for you all in the months ahead. You all are in our thoughts and prayer. We know what it is like to lose those we love although we can’t feel your exact grief we share in it. Your Bob was a real blessing. He will be missed.
