Bob was a great friend, had fun times together with all his family.
With today's political climate, I can hear him now, he surely would have his opinions lol

We have been so happy to have had Bob and Nancy as our neighbors! I will never forget the time that we had a big load of firewood delivered to our home. (on the driveway)My husband was gearing up for the big job of hauling all the wood around the side of the house and stacking it. Before he went out to work, the doorbell rang. I opened the door and there stood Bob with his work gloves on and he said "Well,let's get to work!" We were so surprised.Never had something like that happened to us before!That was so nice of him and we will never forget his act of kindness. I am so impressed with the circle of love that Bob and Nancy have created in their big wonderful family!Our thoughts and prayers are with you Nancy and with your family. Love, Jack and Bev Bennett

You left too early. I miss you more than words can describe. There are too many memories to share, but each and every one of them will be cherished forever in our hearts. You were such a loving dad, great father-in-law and the best grandfather for my children.
Love,

We have been friends with the Brockly family for 46 years.We have wonderful memories that we have shared, with Bob,Nancy and all the kids. We know you all are mourning the lost of your husband and Dad.Bob was man of opinion's on politics,which you didn't want to get him started.
He was proud and loved his kids, as we used to talk you could seem the gleem in his eyes.
I wish we could be there with all his family to say our good bye.
So, Bob may you rest in peace and God comfort the loved ones he loved so much.
To all our good times,
Your friends forever,
Merle and Sandy and Families

The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life.
- Richard Bach
Our Poppy meant so much and more to us all, he was so kind and funny in his own way, you really had to know Poppy to “get” his humor, and love. He was a one of a kind he could always make us smile. If any of us were having a bad day we could always go to Poppy. We are so proud to have known such an incredible man and I will pray everyday that we all will be just as incredible in life as he was. May you rest in peace Poppy and may you watch over your family from up above and help guide us to the path of faith and hope and happiness.
Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe.
Wile we are in this time of grief,
Please keep the prayers going for our family for we need faith and hope to carry on.

I met Bob thru my husband Mike many years ago and I always thought of him as kind of an older James Dean, with his Pompadore hair style that he was so proud of, and I always pictured him when he was younger in a white t-shirt, with the sleeves rolled up with cigarettes tucked in the arm, cuffed jeans. As a trucker, he would roll thru Los Altos, most times I seemed to be working in the long flower island on San Antonio Road. I never even had to look up when he drove by, he would whistle, make some cat call, and honk, I would laugh because I knew it was Mr. Brockly! I always looked forward to hearing him go thru town. He was a unique man, loved his family dearly, and his many friends. I know now, Mike is showing him around, with Mike Flavin not too far behind.......

To say he will be missed is an under statement and words cannot express what a great father in-law and grandfather he was to my daughters and I. You will always be in our hearts and watching over us just in case someone needs a "I'm gonna give you one of these"

Bob was a great brother-in-law to Mike and I and uncle to our daughters Shannon and Cheyanne. We will always have fond memories of all the fun times we had water-skiing, with Bob driving the boat and all the family get-togethers we shared. He will be missed but not forgotten!
We love you!
