A Tribute to my Brother, Bob
November 11, 1960 to February 18, 2009
The First Annual Bob's Ride was a huge success! Bob's Ride
was on Saturday, June 20th 2009 and is the first annual bike ride
to raise money for the early detection of Pancreatic Cancer. Here are two links
to the photos from the event:

Bob was a husband and father to twin 6-year old sons. All proceeds were donated to The Lustgarten Foundation, which ensures that 100% of every donation
goes directly to pancreatic cancer research. www.lustgartencommunity.org.

Life History Photos.....
We
are a family of photos.... photos.... and more photos......
I
have been posting links at the CaringBridge site of photos that I have scanned of
my brother Bobby's Life. Over the
past months it has come to my attention that not everyone knows how to
"copy and paste" so I thought it might be easier to "click"
on a link to view each set of pictures. We have thousands - - - literally
thousands that I will continue to scan and upload as time goes on. The very
first set of photos is from our Family get-a-way over the Christmas Holiday to
celebrate Mom and Dad's 50th Wedding Anniversary on Dec 27th. It has a new
meaning for us now, as it represents our last family vacation before Bobby
passed away. We all arrived at the Grand Geneva on Dec 25th and returned home on
Dec 28th. Bobby's diagnosis of Pancreatic Cancer was on Jan 2, 2009. He passed away a mere 6.5 weeks
later. The photos are scanned in no
particular order, although I tried to date photos based on the information on the
photo itself or information written on the back of the photo. I have discovered
- - with time, that the dates on the photos might not be accurate. It became
obvious to me that there were far too many photos that had the exact same month
and year stamped on the photo - - while at the same time we aged and aged and
aged :) If you happen to "know for a fact" that a
date is incorrect, please email me with the "name" of the photo and
the correct information. (Marypat: marypat@mgabor.com)
Thanks to all who visited Bob's CaringBridge site. It was a great source of
comfort to us and to Bobby, as well. www.caringbridge.org/visit/robertauclair
In all cases, you can view the "thumbnails"
or "click to view" the photos one-by-one.
Thanks and enjoy!
