    I will miss Uncle Bob very much. I have many fond memories of my time with him and he and Aunt Joetta have been a positive influence in my life. I will keep the memories close to my heart. Joetta, Kevin, Kirt, Janae and family you are in my thoughts.

    Bob was the best father-in-law. He was always ready with a smile.
    I remember when I first went to he and Joetta’s home.
    There was and is such a good Spirit there.
    I remarked many times to them how when I came into their home and things at work were not going well that it was like a peaceful haven because of the Good Spirit I sensed in their home.
    I am very honored and fortunate to be a part of this family and I see the result of a very loving father, husband, and grandfather reflected in his children and grandchildren. His wit and counsel as well as his loving nature will be greatly missed but will stay alive in his family and friends.
    Until we meet again Bob. I will always remember how you positively impacted my life.

    What a radiant smile! You transformed the dull and mundane with bits of humor and made our lives brighter.

    Joetta & Family – I am so terribly sorry to hear of the passing of your “loved one”. As you know, Bob & I journeyed thru many years of school together……….alot of GREAT memories. A wonderful “family” man – May God comfort you in this time of sorrow. My heart goes out to you. GOD BLESS.

    What a loss for us, what a gain for Heaven! One of my very favorite characters, and that is just what he was in our friendship. I never knew where he was going to strike next, but I always knew it was going to be funny, and done in good humor. Working with you, Joetta, and my other love, Bob, was always fun. I so much looked forward to the weeks we were doing shows, traveling and camping together. Thank you both for always being there for me, for sharing Bob’s help when I was working alone. My love to you, you are in my heart and my prayers.
    Now Bob and Paul can both be laughing at us as we struggle thru our moments as mere mortals!!

    Miss you and love you dad! You will be greatly missed by your family and friends. You struggled for a long time and now you can rest in the arms of our Creator. 🙂

    To the family and especially JaNae, the face in the photo looks so familiar, wondering where and why I recognize that smile. May God’s comforting spirit be with you all. Grace to you, Clint and Naomi Jacks of First People.

    So wish I could have been there with you to share fun memories and remember all the wonderful times Bob created wherever he went. I know that he is in a better place, but it doesn’t mean we won’t miss him here. Hugs to you all
