To the family of Bob Powers I am saddened to hear of the loss of a true patriot. I first met Bob in VF-64 at Alameda. He took two of my sons and I on a fishing trip to Yosemite that they will always remember.

Wish I found Bob sooner as I organized our first VF-64 Fighter Squadron Reunion in 2006 at Monterey CA. Bob was a very well liked Navy Fighter Pilot back in 1956-58 at NAS ALAMEDA. We searched but couldn't find him and I knew his first name was George but we all called him Bob. Regrets to hear of his passing. Bob Keep Flying Up High in Your F2H BANSHEE. RIP

I am saddened to hear the loss of a great Physician. Dr. Powers was my Physician for many years, we had some great conversations while visiting at his office.He always took care of my medical needs. He talked a lot about his farming. I really didn't see Dr. Powers as just as my Physician, he was a good friend and I know he will be missed by thousands. RIP, Dr.Powers

It was a comfort to know that Dr. Powers was there when someone in the family was ill. Over the 30 years that he was our family physician he cared for each of us in his own honest and caring way. In his kind no nonsense way he saw our family through many a crisis. My heartfelt condolences to his family and friends..

Dr Powers was one of the best doctors that I have ever met. He will be missed and I hope his family is comforted during this time to know many people will miss him greatly. Truly one of the best doctors ever!!!!
December 10, 2012
Dr. Bob as I called him was one of the finest people that I ever had the pleasure to meet not only as a Doctor but a person. We would always kid each other whether at his office or at my shop when he came in. He will be sorely missed by all he touched for his kindness and caring. I am proud to say I had kown him for a small part of my life. My condolences go out to his huge family and may he look down on all of us with that little smile on his face to still keep an eye on us. God Bless Bob.

Doc Powers has impacted our lives greatly. My family and I were blessed to have known him. With all my husband's medical issues, Doc never gave up, insisting on specialist appointments to figure out the root cause of his problems. My family and I will miss him as a doctor and as a friend! My condolences go out to his family!

After running a tractor out of fuel in Lacrosse,Ks Doc chewed my butt. He said"Gosh darn it your not a tractor driver your an operator and operator checks his gauges and doesn't let this happen." I've never ran out of fuel again over 30 yrs later and I've ran a lot of equipment since then. Doc was a father to me and made me a better person.

It was a privilege to work with Dr. Powers for the limited amount of time that I have been at Heartland. He was loved by so many people. I was so surprised at how many people were on a first name basis with him and how they always asked (right when they walked in) how "Bob" was doing. The office has grown so much but Dr. Powers as well as the other doctors always made it that small hometown feel. I am lucky to have worked with him, not as closely as others but I have my own memories that will stay with me. He meant a lot to the community as well as my family for personal reasons. Thank you Dr. Powers and I know you are giving out free medical advice up there even if nobody needs it. The office will never be the same.

Sorry for the loss of Dr. Powers. He was a super doctor for me to have known all the past years. As I worked for K.C. Ambulance Service 1604 Minnesota Ave. KCK and later owned my own ambulance service Metro located at 940 Central Ave. KCK I got to see Dr. Powers a lot at the local hospitals and also he would give ambulance calls for people going to or from the hospital. God bless him and the family.

If there ever was a legend for a Doctor, that would be this wonderful man. I don't think anyone in Kansas City didn't know him at least by name but most by being his patient at some time or another. I can truly say this community has lost a great man first and a great Dr. second. That was how Dr. Power's was! A compassionate person/doctor who truly cared about people. Obviously, his compassion shows by him still being a Doctor this year when he could have retired years ago and left everyone behind but, not good ole Dr. Powie! You will be missed and never forgotten. Love to all the family from the Koontz Family!

Dr. Powers was one of the finest doctors I ever met. He was concerned not only from a doctor/patient standpoint, but as two fellow human beings working together to solve the problems at hand. He was a doctor 24 hours a day and never complained when called at home when needed. Even in death he will always be remembered for his compassion for others. God bless you Doc, I feel like I've lost a friend. See you some day in Paradise my friend.

Dr. Powers was the big brother I never had. I started going to see him in 1972.
He took the time to call me on the phone when he knew something was wrong.
He was my friend. I'm very sad today...!!
