Memories
Walking in the dark singing Johnny Cash to go pick berries, eating berries, orange groves, watermelon patches, buying a 45 record every Friday night, it took a real man to bend a beer can, camping at Lytle Creek, and playing pool. Meeting Betty in Bloomington, cool cars & motorcycles, teenage dances, Rossi’s Drive Inn, drive inn theater’s, local carnivals, building a new house on Olive Street. Motorcycle hills, the cool cars at Colton High, and the light crew for school assemblies. The Duddings, Central Valley, Jack meeting Alberta, Dad’s fried chicken, Mom’s tacos & enchiladas. Mom & Bob selling auto paint, the Damboree, Little league, hunting, fishing, boating and meeting Sherry.
We love and miss you,
Marv & Sherry

Dennis, Tracy and family sorry for your loss, you have been in my thoughts and prayers. Your Dad was a very unique person there were times at Livingstons we fought like cats and dogs, we said stuff to each other at levels today would get you fired on the spot and the next second had each others back. I learned so much from him which has helped me throughout my life.
After Champion/Livingstons each time I ran into Bob it was like a Reunion we would update each other on people, friends, family and any new arrivals which always seem to take a half an hour to an hour. I always looked forward to seeing your dad.
I will truly miss you Bob, I can say you had a influence on my life and I thank you.

I'm going to miss my buddy, Bob. A great friend and a truly great heart for his community. He raised some pretty great kids too, both his own and the rest of the ones he helped guide! Glad he is home with Betty, he missed her greatly, as did we all.

On behalf of myself and my family, Shad, Shayne and Mishele and all the ball players of Central Valley/Shasta Lake,,,you will be missed. We'll see you at God's diamond, with your lovely wife by your side.

Bob- Both you and Betty were amazing people that forever hold a place in my heart. I remember the numerous hours we spent working on Damboree and during that time not only did you support me in my running for Damboree Queen you supported me by becoming my friend. You were more then a limp and a hat. You were a teacher, a friend and an overall amazing person. I will never forget being your best Dam Queen and court of 1998 and will forever miss your smile. Give Betty a huge hug from me and much love to the both of you forever!

Well Dad, there just aren't any words, just this aching void which is only calmed by knowing that when you open your eyes, it will be to see our Dear Jesus and the love of your life, Mom. For the first time since childhood, you will be dancing without any pain in mind body or soul- and if anyone deserves that, it's You Dad.
What a family you made and I know that was your life's desire; we are so very VERY Blessed that G-D put us in your wonderful capable "Daddy's Hands".
I love you, miss you and I'll see you in my dreams until we meet again in Glory.
Your grateful daughter,
love ~Joetta ???

Believe that our brother has gone to a better place... that he is happier than you, or he, could have ever imagined. Believe that while he has been called home, he is yet ever so close. There is but a window between us with one way glass... and one day, that window will open at your appointed time... He will grasp your hand and take you home. Believe this as the truth it is, and try to live the rest of your life well, and happy..because he is watching.
God will wipe away every tear from their eyes: there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away. Revelation 21:4 We love you brother
