Bob Ross

As a former Bessie G miner I met Bob a few years back on the LaPlata Canyon Road. He was selling his rock specimens and I purchased a few. We had a great conversation but he explained how he couldn't get access to the mine anymore since a landslide covered the entrance. I was hoping to see him again on the LaPlata Canyon Road up to the mine and discovered just now he had passed on. Blessings to Bob and to all his family. I am hoping to share some stories about the Bessie G this Friday at...

What a dear friend! I will miss him dearly. Can you tell me when his celebration of life will be?

Bob was a friend he would help any one he got me going in prospecting he was a good good friend

the artists dead :( rest in peace

Bob, will forever treasure the days on the mountain at, and in, our Bessie! Lots of great adventure to be sure.... you are missed!

Bob will miss you and all your rock and mineral knowledge. Blessings and Hugs to the family. Rod Cook

Bob found me my first day prospecting ever. He was a Godsend and he still is.

Bob was a friend of a friend. I came to know him as a wonderful soul! My condolences to friends and family.

He was much older than I but I loved out trips to the south and the love of community and family while I was there. Rest in piece . -My prayers.
