Columbus OHUncle Bob was one of the sweetest guys I have ever known. One of my fondest memories was when I was young and our family would go out to Wild Rice for church. Uncle Bob would be singing Ava Maria. What a beautiful voice. I will miss your smile and the hugs.
My Love and Prayers are with the whole family in this time of sorrow.
Love

AMARILLO TXI remember my Uncle Bob especially when I think of growing up and visiting my grandparents at the farm. I loved being there. His smile was infectious and he was always so much fun to be around.
I was the flower girl at Uncle Bob and Aunt Phyllis’ wedding. I will never forget it!! I even remember the dress I wore. Mom and I and my 2 sisters rode with them to California for their honeymoon. We came along because we were moving to California! Some honeymoon for them!! Three young girls and his sister to content with!
Even though I had not seen him in a long time, I will miss him, but know he has joined other members of his family at home. Rest in Peace Uncle Bob.
