Bobby - I just heard of Bob's promotion to Heaven. Gosh - I am at a loss for words. My heart goes out to you, Heather and Bobby. Sending you a hug. But I am positive he is up there with your Mom and Dad, my Mom, Grandma and Grandpa Cook - making them all laugh with his "tales". He always had a hug and warm greeting for me, which was always welcomed and appreciated.

So sorry for your loss. Slim and Bob have known each other since the Midland days and always talked about them. They were friends and Bob always made me feel comfortable when ever I saw him at the moose. If Slim were still here I am sure he would have something to say but now they can talk in heaven.

I met Bob working for the City. We shared of hours of discussion on contracts and retirement. My father was one of his supervisors, and Bob was a favorite of my father Bob Brandt. Percy was dad's nick name for Bob. A handsome and charismatic man the world is lesser place with his presents. May you rejoice with the saints!
