Not sure what to say?

Bob was the shining example among all the friends I had while I was on active duty in the U.S. Air Force ('56-'84. I was blessed to have known him. May God rest his soul.

Thank you all who have posted here. I feel truly blessed to be his daughter! He was a great man.

To my extended military family, I'm so very sorry to learn of Bob's passing (though I always called him "General"). He was such a brilliant man, yet humble and quite charming. I can still hear his laugh. He and Dad used to do some of the funniest things - remember the foil star they put on my Dad's old blue car when he got promoted?? Those 2 really did throw all protocol out the window when at Brooks together. Lots of fond memories - I'm sure they're catching up on some of those stories now....

I didn't know your father, Cindy, but knowing what a wonderful daughter he and your mother raised says a lot about him. Love you both. Suzanne

On behalf of all our family from Les (deceased) and Joy Quinn, we wish you our sincere condolances and remember Bob with fond memories. We were so blessed to get to know him and Dad will enjoy his company now in Heaven. With prayers of comfort, Michele Quinn Gorden and Very Joy Quinn.

I was sorry to read of your loss. No parents ever sent better kids to Highlands High.

To Bob, Cindy, Lori and Kim...your father will be missed. I know you have wonderful memories of him that will help you with the roads ahead. We enjoyed getting to know your family in England and again in San Antonio. love to all of you. may God guide you and help you find peace. The Trevino Family. Joe, Terry, Romie(maria Ramirez)and Joe Trevino III. I'm sure all your fellow "Lancers" will fill the heavens with prayers.

Bob was a great American and leader. It was a pleasure to be associated with him as a fellow physician and Air Force Officer.

I knew him as just "Bob", but at that first meeting you knew he was a gentleman and a loving father. Cindy and I are best of friends. Billy and I have enjoyed the company of the family at several occassions. It was easy to tell that they were all close and very dedicated to each other. Together Patricia and Bob raised a "Story Book" family. I know that there will be a hole in the family for a while, but they will be together to smooth over the loss and comfort each other. May God Bless...
