Not sure what to say?

My dad (Bob Jonas) was in a few bands with Bob before the Casinos (the Citations and then the Vikings). Still have several old reel-to-reel tapes of them performing and backing up the Casinos. My dad always spoke great things about Bob.

He always had a smile for everyone. His fun personality was a gift to all who knew him, whether an old friend or a new fan. His talent was also his gift to all of us. Rest in peace, Bobby. My condolences to your family.

I am truly sorry for your lost. In your time of bereavement, know that God assures us that we will see our loved ones again. I'm sure that with the help of our loving Heavenly Father, your family, and friends you will be able to endure this trial. May your memories give you comfort.

I met Bobby in the late 60's when his band played in the Casinos Pizza and Bar downtown Cincinnati and later in the 70's when we both were regulars at the Brass Buckle Tavern in Mt. Washington. He was such a great guy and I'm sure he will be missed. R.I.P. Bobby....Gregory"Bird Dog"Smith (Brown County, OH)

Dear Uncle Bob; our family, our lives, was made richer by having you in it. You will be missed greatly.

Bob thanks for always being there for my dad over the years. He always said you were a really delightful person an a good organist. He loved playing with you guys. I especially am going to miss all the fun times we all had together. It has always been great to see all of you. You always felt like family to me. I send all my prayers to you Brenda an the Family. I will miss him dearly. He was always very good to me an their music has always been very special to me. I was glad to see he went on...

What a great Friend. I have been thinking of Bob and our history since I visited him in his room about three weeks ago. During that visit at one point with all the strength he could muster he smiled, stuck out his hand, and thanked me for being his friend all these years and I had all I could do to keep my composure. That was Bobbie Armstrong until the day he died thanking his friends. We went back to the Casino's. Besides been a great group themselves, they backed several other singing...

At the end of each life is a legacy of love.. My deepest condolences to the family and friends. As the days and weeks pass and as you return to life routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of God, family and friend James 4:8 Draw close to God and he will draw close to you
