Bob you touched so many young and old of which none of them could never forget you. Your love for children, animals, and life gave all of us a lot to cherrish and to never forget. Even the little piggies had a soft spot in their hearts for you when you spoke to them. The SWINE Pavilion will go on forever in your memory and generations of families will all have a story to tell that will last for years and years to come. We will all miss your smiling face rather it be at the fair or under the clown makeup in parades or anywhere else you were. You will be deeply missed.
Town & Country Village will miss you Bob! Thanks for the memories!

My grandpa was one of a kind, and thats what i loved about him. I loved that he helped people all the time and never asked anything in return. He had everyone calling him grandpa and that was amazing. I will miss him so much, but im happy i had him as a grandpa and that he got to be there when Ayden was born. I love you Grandpa and im counting down the days when i will get to see you again.

Bob Stotler was an amazing man. There are so many memories of him that could be shared. The fair being the first place my family met him. The world is sad, but think of all the happy reunions he is having in heaven with all the people who's lives he has touched. There is no words to express our thankfulness for all that he did with the swine barn and through the schools. Stotler family know that during this time we are say prayers and wishing you peace.
John & Rita Bright
and all of their kids whose lives Bob touched over the years.

The Manning family will deeply miss Bob. Renegade Football games will not be the same. We had season tickets right below Bob for years! He would stop by our tailgate every game and in his clown costume during the Potato Bowl! I'll miss my "I hugged a clown today" sticker. I'll also never forget the time my pig was over weight by 2 pounds at the fair and Bob called out 250, whew, the limit. Fairwell old friend, God Bless You.
October 13, 2010
Our Prayers are with all of you at this time. Bob's smile and enthusiasm will be greatly missed. The Pig Barn at Fair time will just not be the same.

The world has lost an irreplaceable man. Papa Stotler was someone who always made you smile, full of fun stories, a great role model, full of knowledge whether it be about animals to life in general and a outstanding citizen of Kern County. He will be greatly, greatly missed. I know he touched our family very much & we are proud to have been his friends. We love you Papa Bob!

Where do you start when talking about Bob. His love for the kids, his generous heart or the K.C. Fair cuz he was all about these things. It truly will never be the same without him at the fair. Alot of memories of the fair do include Bob like everyone else. My kids have always thought he was so funny being the "Clown", passing out costume jewlery to the kids or hanging out in the Swine barn for the dance or pig calling contest. We feel blessed to have been among the many people to call Bob our friend & to have been kissed or hugged each year by him. Those are the things we will miss about "our friend". Thank God for people like him. Now he can clown around up in Hog Heaven. Thanks to all of his family for sharing him with the rest of us.

Papa was such a special person to everyone he came in contact with. He blessed the students in my classroom for several years with "engagement rings for the girls" and special toys for the boys. They especially loved the stickers he would give each child as they gave him a hug. Our district has lost a very special prize. Personally, I have known Papa Bob from the swine barns at the fair. I am sure that he and my dad are having a great time in Heaven today. It really was "all about the kids."

I do not know where to begin, Bob has been a part of my life for so many years. He has be a wonderful friend, GREAT role model, and a second father on fair trips when I was much younger. To his family I say thank-you for sharing him with The Fair Family! I hope that we will always remember what Bob believed and lived , "it's ALL about the kids" Bob was loved by many and will be greatly missed.

Dear Judy and the Stotler family
There are no words to express the loss we all feel for you and your family. You all must know what a Great man your Dad was, and how many friends will miss him, but he will always be with us. My thoughts go out to you and every one that knew Bob.

Judy and family; I am so sorry for your loss, I did not have the pleasure of meeting your dad, but judging from you, he must have been a great man. You and yours will be in our prayers.

It was a honor to have known Bob for so many years. The smiles that he brought to so many faces young and old is a tribute to the man he was, and will be remembered by. We as a family were all remembering him and my children argued about who had married him the most with the rings he gave to them while dressed like a clown.He did so many things for the children in Kern County, and I know that he is continueing his work in heaven with the children there. He will always be a part of who we are, and to his family celebrate the life he had and be happy for soon enough we will all be with him again in heaven. God bless you Bob. Prayers go out to your Family.
