Bobby, I will never ever forget you. You were the ultimate cousin. There are things that I will never forget when we were kids on Grama and Grampa's farm. You will always be in my heart. Love you so much

From the first time I spoke to Bob I was aware of the love he had for his family. I will always be grateful for the way he welcomed me into his life. Nicole and Dusty are both beautiful testaments to the warm, generous, and loving father he was. Like them, I will miss him forever.

I also worked with Bob and the Frenchtown mill. What a great guy. Always a positive word for all. My husband, Gary, remembers his sister from Glendive. So sorry for the great loss.

We are blessed because Bob touched our lives. One of my favorite quotes: 'The Love in your Heart wasn't put there to stay. Love isn't Love until you give it away.' Thank-you, Bob for loving us and we love You! We are very grateful because our Loving God placed you as part of our journey. Peace.

Bob will always hold a special place in our hearts! He walked with my husband on his journey to become Catholic...Bob was such a true disciple of God! Bob also was a eucharistic minister at our wedding because he was the essence of what it meant to "walk the walk and talk the talk!" We loved Bob's awesome outlook on life, his forever smile and his laugh! He left on mark on the world and through his legacy he will live on in our hearts!

Bob always had a smile and a sparkle in his eye and when you saw that you just knew everything would be fine. We had some great times at SES and some difficult times but I always could rely on Bob to make things better. I will miss that smile and sparkle. He gave so much to everyone he touched. Thank you for everything you have done dear friend, may peace be with you and your family.

Bob and I worked together many years at the mill in Missoula. He was always happy and able to get things done in a way that pleased everyone. He was sucessful in everything he tried. We will miss him.

Bob I remember when you told me, "God takes the Good Ones first, Kiddo,which is why he called for my Mom to come back home. You see, God was rewarding her, and my Mom was the lucky one who got to go first and be with him, while the rest of us will have to continue to wait until we are lucky enough to go back home and finally be free."

Well Bob, I guess that's why he called you back home so soon. You were a wonderful man, always so willing to help others, always concerned about everyone else, you always spoke of how proud you were of your family and how much you loved them, and you were one of the hardest working men I have met. Again, you were right, you are the lucky one and you are finally back home with your Mom and are finally free to rest.

I will miss you so very much. You were like my second Dad and a good friend to my Dad. I will miss your advice, your lessons, the wonderful talks, your words of encouragement, your smile and seeing your always perfectly combed hair. I love you Bob.

Bob was my supervisor for 5 years at Southwest Energy. There was never an instance where he didn't have the time to help me, to offer advice or encouragement when I needed it. He was generous, patient and caring. His positive attitude was a great example to us all. I will remember him always.

My prayers are with Bob's entire family during this very difficult time. May God sustain you and comfort you in your time of need. I'll always remember Bob for his positive attitude and his faith in God. Bob was a very positive influence in my life not only professionally but also personally while we worked together at SES. May you rest in peace in the presence of our glorious Savior.

Bob I will miss you. I only knew you for a short time but felt like it was a lifetime. You were an honest business man whom I enjoyed doing business with. I will always remember our talks in your office about life and occassionally work. I will miss your smile and little wink that you gave. God has another faithful servant in Heaven. "well done my good and faithful servant" I love you - Alan Bieberstein

Bob was the most positive guys I have ever met. He was a real man's man as well as a devoted husband and father. His contribution to Sacred Heart Church was immeasurable, he was always there when you needed him. There are some men that leave a lasting impression on you and Bob was one of those for me. I love you brother, rest in peace. Bruce Steenson
