Hi All,
I met your Dad back in '96 whilst staying at Joanna's place in Daytona Beach. She was expecting Abigail at that time. My memories of Bob are of a great guy that was only too generous and friendly. We shared some beers, dinner and plenty of laughter during that time. Fantastic memories!
Cheers, Tony.

Dad
Well I just typed up an entry and it disappeared. I need you. Life has gotten flipped upside down but I am standing calm in this storm.. It goes back to the 2 choices. I've never taken the easy way. I believe in people I just don't understand the lying. It's hard to hear someone talk when it isn't the truth.
I'm upset my last entry was lost. My try and soon.

Well Dad I am moving into your house. Kids are excited to live there. I am sure we will have many fires in the back yard and kids will enjoy the property. I love you

Dad there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you and all that you have taught me. The "two choices" speech... Your grand kids are amazing. Life has thrown some curve balls my way but you armed me to overcome them. If my boys turn out to be half the man you were I would be delighted. I miss you so much it hurts and I get scared to do this on my own but I find peace knowing you are with me always. I love you and I am blessed everyday you were/ ate my father.

I just ran across Bob's obituary... I'm so sorry to hear of his passing... I worked with and for Bob back some 40 years ago at the Firestone Store on Plymouth & Evergreen in Detroit... He and his brother Glen were more than work associates, but good friends... Bob always had a smile on his face and ready to help anyone... Again, I'm so sorry to hear of his passing.

Dad it is close to Christmas and I miss you. Conner the other day was thinking about you and started to cry. I miss you and I wish this would make sense. The kids are getting big. Aubrey is in ballet and both boys play sports. Brook is coming home for the holidays and will be going back to the war. This time he is not flying- please protect him. I love you.
February 3, 2007
Sorry I've never written..I guess I just didn't know exactly what to say..Thank you for everything that you have done for me and my family...I promise to take care of your daughter....It is tough sometimes but I guess that is just the way it is....I am in Iraq now, I know that you would've supported this, please watch over your beautiful daughter and grandkids while I am gone...Right before I left I told Kim about "Bacon and Eggs"....I have been reminded of you many times since I began my trip over here....When I sat down on the plane to fly to Kuwait the Gunnery Sergeant next to me was reading Louise L'Amor's "Last of the Breed", the book that you bought me...I know that you read it multiple times....Another thing happened when I saw that Denzel Washington was in San Antonio visiting the soldiers whom were injured over here just recently....You had sent an email about him doing the same thing a few years ago to Kim....I think that she still has it in her inbox...She has mentioned it a few times....The little things are what bring memories back...Thank you for the memories and thank you for watching over me while I am here..................

happy Birthday Dad, I love you! You have been visiting me in my dreams alot lately thank you. I figured you had to check on the other two first they are a bit more needy then me. Brook is getting ready to go to Iraq in January so be with him. I was wondering when this is going to get easier. I miss your voice.....You were just suppose to be here longer. I know that is selfish but I am ok with that. I love you and miss you- the kids are getting big, Conner played football and is getting to run his first 5k on saturday. Jaden just turned 4 he is getting so big I remember taking him to your house all the time and Aubrey thinks she is 16 already she is a real princess. You are always in my thoughts. I love you Kim

Dad, happy Easter. I was waiting to hear your voice. The one phone call I did not get was you calling to say "bacon and eggs" or "you still sleeping?" I wanted to call you and hear you answer the phone "happy easter" Dad I want to wake up from this dream and have you back. This was not suppose to happen this year. I am sad. Today we went swimming in our pool and jaden remembers when you came to visit and we all went swimming at night. Your grandkids are doing great we all miss you so much. I love you thank you for all that you tought me. Kim

We're still so shocked. It's disbelief. Bill and I were talking this evening about Bob never having one single enemy. What a great loss. We're so very sorry for the family; he was special to his friends. Please let us know how you are Paul, Kim, Joanne....we think of you all often, almost daily. So hard to comprehend losing a great person in this world....

Dad - The races are great this year Roger Hayden won the Supersport race. Miguel is winning the 200. I think you would have enjoyed it this year. Hayden came to her 1st 2 races. She loved it kept asking who your favorite was, and if grandpa was this and did he like that.
Yes Joanna thank you for being part of my dads life I love you. I truly do. Miss you dad. O yea I 'm getting a new dog Monday.

Paul, Kim, Joanna, and to the family members we never knew....Bill and I are deeply saddened by Bob's death. He was a friend and a superb person to know. Always with a smile is how we'll remember him. Bob was always happy for other peoples' success and when we told him of our move to Key West, he was so happy for us. He was such a genuine person, a huge loss to all who knew him, and a bigger loss to those who never will. Our hearts are filled with overwhelming grief for all of you. Please know he meant something to so many people for just being who he was. We are sorry we didn't know so we could have been there for the service. Love to all of you. Paul, go forward and make that RLH yours! with sincere love, Bill, Robin & Joshua Wood

DAD - GOD I miss you! I need to talk to you about a bunch of things. Thank you for being what you were. I cannot even explain how much I really enjoyed all the time we spent. I just wish I could explain to people our relationship, but it was to good for words. I love you so much and I am so happy you knew that. I knew it also. DAD I love you I will see you soon.

Just wanted to take a moment to say that even though I never had the pleasure to meet Mr. Hartley face to face I had dealt with him and his superb agency for 2 years via phone. After we were devasted by Hurricane Charley and our current taxi ins co left us hanging with no notice to not renew...we thought our business of 15 years would have to close...but a friend a Bob's gave us his # by chance and he had us bound the same day and we never lost a days business. We credit Bob and his agency with our continued success in rebuilding our business and giving us the boost we needed to carry on..... we will miss him as well and were sincerely shocked by the news as I had last spoke with him only a couple days prior.... our condolences for the family and co-workers on this sad occasion.

Our prayers and deepest sympathy to all of Bob's family. My kids spent so much time with your family and Bob was always so sweet and supportive of them--particularly Justin all the years when he was playing ball in Port Orange. We will be thinking of you all in the days and weeks to come.

My tears and prayers are with Bob's familiy.
Bob's genuine dedication to his family was obvious to many.
I'll never forget the joy on his face while ridding his grandchildren around on his tractor!
He's done good for many, but the only way you would know is to hear it from them. He never bragged.
He has truely laid up treasures for himself in heaven!
He will be greatly missed!
JoAnna, whatever you or Abigail need, I'm just a phone call or
e-mail away.
Sincerely, Leslie Kyle
