Ruth and Family, I'm sorry that I'm so late at signing this book. I just wanted to tell you all how much I loved Bob. He was a wonderful person and cousin. He was so good to keep in contact with me, just to see how things were with our family. I also wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed all of your talent and beautiful talk at the funeral. You have a wonderful family.
Love
Val & Steve Brown

Ruth and Family, I was sad to hear from my sister Val that Bob had passed away. I was additionally disapointed that work was too hectic to allow me to see family members of which I have many enjoyable memories. Bob was a great person in my life, he was not only family but a dear friend of my father. The times I remember best with Bob were of him sitting around a camp fire with his pop while describing the great deer hunt, walking my legs off during the pheasant hunt in Sanpete County, talking body shop lingo at DuRite Body and most of all his ability to walk amongst bees with no fear.
Best and warm wishes to all I have not seen in years.

Joann and family, I have fond memories of the hours I spent in your home and so appreciate the kindness of your parents and that they always made me feel welcome. Your Dad was OK too when my Pontiac dribbled oil on his clean driveway. I'm very sorry for your loss.

Sister Graham & your wonderful family: our prayers are with you at this time. Robert was one of the sweetest people I've known. We would buy honey from him in the 60's and take it home to So California. My parents loved him, too.
