    What I will miss the most is everytime I saw you the first thing you said was some smartass comment. I looked forward to whatever jackass thing you had to say. I’m glad I inherited your sarcasm and I will continue to make the most of it! Love you Uncle Bob.

    My memories of Bob will always be special, He was always giving me the Blues at Pizza Hut about something. He never did call me lena it was always Lenaray this and Lenaray that. He also made me feel like part of his family always inviting me to join in something. My favorite pic of us was when he played Santa Claus at one of our Pizza Hut Christmas parties at Sugar Creek. You will be missed Bobby but you will always have a place in my heart Love you my friend!
    RIP!

    Thank you for helping me learn how to drive all those years ago. Wish we would have had more chances to talk about the good ol’ days. I will miss you. I have no doubt I will always smile when I think of you!

    I only met Bob once, but it was easy to tell that he loved & was loved by many.

    The last few times I was with Bobby he always talked about how much he loved his grandkids and Terry. Said he thought he could finally make ham and beans as good as his dad (my Uncle Bob) and was going to prove it to me. So sorry we didn’t get to do that. I love him very much and look forward to seeing him in Heaven. My love and prayers to all who love and miss him.
