Sara, Sue & Gayle, I want to reiterate what Weida said about your dad. I can't say what she said any better than that. . Bob 'was' special to us . . . much more than I think ya'll know. He was a very dear man and he was endeared to us. One of his 'special' qualities, that I will always hold with me, was watching him 'share' in his frailties. Most men are very stoic, and while he was still 'ever the man', like so many of us 'guys' profess to be, he was not afraid to allow others to see his sensitivities . . . his emotions . . his passion. And like Weida said, he cared deeply for the women in his life. June, Sue, Gayle and Sara were 'his world' and he cherished each and every moment that he spent in that world. We will miss him a lot, but he will stay with us, always. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 . . . I am thankful that I knew Bob Tousley. Brian Mc

Sara,Sue,Gayle and (Jennifer and Blake), I know this feeling oh too well! The feeling of loss and sadness when our loved one has passed. It doesn't matter if they are 90 or 35 when they pass or if it is sudden or expected. A loss is a loss and it hurts just the same. It is amazing what love and memories can do for the healing hearts. As you reminisce over these wonderful thoughts have peace in knowing that he did leave an impression on this world and a legacy to pass on. Keep him alive in your hearts and may God bless you as you are all together during this time. Love, Danielle Laynor

Gayle, boys & family..words will never suffice to convey what your dad meant to me...what a truly fabulous man... I am so glad that not only did i get to spend quality time with him after his move to Coventry but that I was able to share some of his life & my life moments...i will always remember how excited he was when i asked him if i coud use that tree in the front yard for my senior pictures, to babysitting the grandchildren he adored to our Friday morning coffeess, happy hours & potlucks at Coventry. I loved that man! People cross our paths for a reason..he taught me much about patience & that sometimes one needs to be a bit reserved...my heart is heavy for you all. His presence will be missed but his memories & valuable life lessons will live on. I love you Gayle, Ricky, Eric, Gregg & Michael ((HUGS)) many prayers..Rae Ann

To Sara, Gail, Sara's Sister Sue Your Dad was very special to my family. I wish with all my heart I could be there with you at this time to honor him and see the love he help create. I have such wonderful memories of Bob...hugging you Sara...hugging Gail...hugging Sue...hugging me...him telling me about his garden. Some of the best memories were at the wedding...going to the rehearsal dinner...everyone in the den and Bob was teasing June and the girls were laughing at him...to watching him walk Sara down the aisle...to seeing hold Jennifer and Blake when they were babies...to him sitting with June. Sara, I will always be grateful to you. You allowed us to be part of Tousley family. Your family is gracious, caring,and loving. Bob loved June and his girls. You could see that love in his eyes when he looked at them and you could hear it in his voice when he talked to them or about them. I loved talking to him because he always made me feel special and that he cared. Bob is with June...Bob is with God and we can rejoice in that. Love to you all…Weida
