Not sure what to say?

Ed and I are so grieved to read of Bob's passing. We have shared so many "Bob moments" since hearing the news - not only on a professional basis for Ed but also on a more personal basis about Bob's love of family,children, church and life. Bob will be missed by so many!!! Hugs, Mary Martha and Ed Stinnett

Kay,
You and Bob have been such special friends to Clint and me. We've had such fun at Houston Jr. Forum events and Showtime, Knights of Momus at Galveston Mardi Gras and the Dance Clubs. Bob will really be missed. He was always one of Clint's favorites. It was so wonderful to see you both as the Honorees for the Houston Jr. Forum Gala recently.
I am sorry that I cannot be there at the services today, but I am in California babysitting my little grandson. But I will see you soon at...

Bob was a loving husband,father, and grandfather.A friend to so many. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Kay, Marilyn, Laura, and their families. Sally and Lance Barlow

Dear family- You remain in my thoughts and prayers and I offer my condolences to all of you for the loss of Bob. May he remain in our hearts and minds.

Kay,
I considered Bob a mentor. He gave good advice on business and life.

I was a fellow member of the Structural Committee with Bob, he always would single me out after the meetings with a cheerful story. We were both pilots in earlier times, he liked to talk about those memories. I will truly miss Bob.

Kay, Laura, & Marilyn, we all grieve with you and are so sorry for your loss. We remember the good times.

Kay and family,
Those of us left behind at the Foundation Performance Association that Bob helped start will miss his regular quips like, "that's just my opinion...that and fifty cents will buy you a cup of coffee." There will be a lot less smiles at our committee meetings without Bob's unending witticisms.

Kay, what a wonderful life you and Bob had together. It was always so nice to be around the two of you - like you were made for each other. My thoughts are with you and the family. Hugs, Betsy and Alan Anderson
