McCabe Funeral Home

Our condolences to your entire family! My parents, Stan and Ann Sokalski were lifelong friends of Bob and Judy, then also welcomed Marilyn. I recall when Mr. Wallace came to a party at our Southfield house on crutches, having a knee injury, but his laughter still rang out to be heard all the way upstairs where we kids were banished. We had a delightful dinner visit with Bob and Marilyn in Albuquerque when they came to see the hot air Balloon Fiesta. Mom and Dad remembered seeing Bob perform as a percussionist in some band, after retirement, and they were amazed that he threw his drumsticks in the air while drumming! They really enjoyed it! Sadly, our dad Stan passed away January 14, 2021 (we watched your lovely mass and heard your beautiful singing to help us plan dad's January 30th funeral) May you all be heartened by the fact that Bob was a blessed and lucky guy, whose happiness stemmed mainly from YOU!

Linda - So sorry for your loss.

Linda, my deepest sympathy in the Loss of your father. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thoughts and prayers

God is with you in your sorrow as he was with you in your joy. May your faith bring you comfort. My condolences to all.

My family led a "parallel life" as we grew up with the Wallaces. Our parents Ann and Stan, were in college with Bob and we've had matching-grade kids since I met Matt in 3rd grade at St. Mike's. We also had our own pew in church! I will always be glad for the lifelong friendship that our folks had, from sharing tables at the father daughter dances at Mercy up to breakfasting with the 4 of them at Leo's after church on the dozen or so times I was privileged to join Bob and Marilyn. You could not be with Bob without having to smile. We will miss him but remember his joyfulness always.

We met Bob just after meeting Matt and Emily in 1980. I always felt he was a friend from the start! I loved his stories and his laugh. He will be deeply missed. Sincere sympathy to everyone.

It was always a joy for us to visit with Bob at Kopas family gatherings. He was full of fun and life and had such a jovial laugh. May you Rest In Peace cousin Bob.

What a wonderful and full life Mr. Wallace lead. I didn't realize all of his educational and career accomplishments. I will always cherish the memories we created and shared in St. Helen at the cottages. 4th of July week was the highlight each summer because of our two families vacationing together. Prayers and thoughts are with all of you.

Happy memories, we lived on the same block in Detroit, went to the same school, St. Rita. We were altar servers from the 4th grade to 12th. Stayed best of friends all of our lives, had a cottage next door to his family and spent many vacations at Lake St. Helen MI together with our families. Had many dinners together at our homes thru the years with our mutual friends from St. Rita School. Kept in touch and visited until now. Dave & Katie LaCharite

I miss having breakfast with Bob and Marilyn most Sundays after church. What great memories and discussions we had

A wonderful neighbor and friend. Marilyn our thoughts are with you and the family!

Grandpa was an amazingly hard-working and loving man. I will always cherish my memories of him, this day and always.

My sincere condolences to Marilyn and the entire Wallace family. Ob was such a great guy and a pleasure to be in his company. We will all miss him.
