From The Family of Bob Uecker
“To our fellow Milwaukeeans and Wisconsinites, to Bob’s friends and fans from near and far,
“Today, we come together to celebrate Bob’s life. And as we gather at the ballpark, our family is overwhelmed with gratitude. Your outpouring of stories, tributes, and affection continues to remind us of just how deeply he was cherished and how much he meant to so many.
“To say he loved this team, this city, and this state would be an understatement. Milwaukee was his home, and the Brewers were an extension of his family. Seeing that love reflected back means more than we could ever put into words. There is something truly special about this community, and Bob felt it every single day.
“Thank you for welcoming him into your lives, for making him part of your families, and for holding him in your hearts.
“Thank you for showing up today to say “so long” to our Bob. We will surely share a laugh, and maybe shed a tear, while we honor him in the most fitting of ways … at the place he loved so much, surrounded by the people he loved even more. We have no doubt that Bob is here with us in spirit.
“And finally, thank you to the Brewers organization for putting together such an incredible celebration. Your unwavering support has carried us through this challenging time.
“We will never forget this day, and the way you’ve all kept Bob’s memory alive.”
