To all the immediate and extended family of Bob Walker, my deepest condolences for your loss of your husband, father, brother, and relative. Bob was my best friend at OLM and thru High School and into college. We did a lot together, most of which should not be shared here but assuredly never was hurtful to anyone or permanently to any property. No one could make me laugh harder in our times and conversations together, and I will always cherish the memories of his beautiful, loyal friendship. We shared trips to Tahoe, Oregon, San Diego; we rode bikes all over the City and the Peninsula, often to comical results; and we even dabbled in film making, fence building, and
car construction. The vast majority of my memories during those years include Bob, and I will think of them and remember them with a smile forever.
He is a great guy. God will enjoy him.

You will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.

Cheryl, Kristin & Megan,

My heart breaks for the three of you over the loss of such a wonderful, kind, generous, and loving man. I could not have asked for a better cousin and will cherish the memories I have of Bobby as we grew up, and especially those over the past few months. I was blessed to be able to spend a lot of time with Bobby these past fews months whether it was visiting him in the hospital or at home, taking him to treatment and of course, our cooking marathon. I will cherish that day forever and smile every time I think of Bobby taking cooking lessons from me.
I will miss him terribly, but know he will remain in my heart and in my memories.

Love to the three of you. God Bless.
