Obituary of Robert Fairfield
Rest in Peace, Bob
There are indeed some decent men among us,
Almost a throwback to a far more gentle time.
At first glance they seem quiet, almost reserved,
But then you look closer.
You see how comfortable they are with themselves,
A painting much brighter than you first imagined!
A wit and kindness that is more than clear,
No need to be bold or brash,
Just a unique ability to listen,
To be there when most needed,
To offer a smile that brightened our day.
He’d smile at us,
Enjoying and understanding one’s act.
His wit and wisdom as smooth as can be,
Bob let you know he was listening,
That he understood the concept of we.
You didn’t want to intrude upon this soul,
His life seemed so complete.
Bob’s uniqueness was so special,
You didn’t want to compete.
He’d tease you when he said goodbye,
As if to say, you’re all finished now,
Bob heard you and smiled and went on his way.
He said so much with so few words.
Bob was blessed to have found the love of his life!
He was comfortable in his skin,
Appreciated so much by Monica and all who loved him!
There is no question that the good amongst us leaves too soon.
This fine man’s PRESENCE left a mark that will be remembered
By all who knew him!
Bob was blessed to have YOU by his side!
