I worked with Bob when I was 18 and will always cherish those memories. Tractors and hay was a hard life, but one Bob enjoyed. He's always been a role model for me. He will be missed.

I am very sorry about your loss. Bob was a good man and taught me many things about farm equipment over the years. I always knew I could count on him for parts or answers for the old John Deeres. He will be missed.

So very heartbroken over the tragic loss of such a great man. I will miss his presence at Adobe Pumpkin Farm, his laughter, his hay rides. He became such a friend to my family these past 10 years, and was so good to me after the loss of my husband.

Bob, you will always be special to me; I will never forget you and your kindness to me. Thank you for the rides and the memories. I know you will watch over your family and all of us. You will be sorely missed...
