Our sincere condolence to the entire Askew family of your loss.We missed the opportunity to get to know Bob after hearing what a wonderful person he was. Our prayers will be with you all,
Your neighbor next door 2711

My grandmother is Frankie (Sharp) Douglas. She grew up on the Whittenburg ranch with Bobbi. She is sad to hear of his passing. She's told me wonderful stories about Bobbi when they were young (he taught her to ride a bike). She also has a few great pics of Bobbi when they were about 5 years old. If you'd like to see them please email me at [email protected]. We are sorry for your loss. Sincerely, Jeannie

To the entire Askew family...Bob will truly be missed. He was like a second father to me as well as best friends to my mom and dad. Keeping you in our prayers.

Darla, so sorry for your loss. How Blessed you have been to have had some Loving, caring parents! You and your family will be in my thougts & prayers!

JoAnn, DeeDee and Darla, I was saddened to learn of Bob's passing. He and my Mother, Mazelle Burgess are cousins. Bob was always so thoughtful and caring. He made a friend for life with me as a teenager in the 1960's when he and JoAnn let me drive their VW Beetle. His parents, Aunt Ethel and Uncle Bob were dear to our family. Bob took such good care of them in their later years. I have so many fond memories of living on that hillside and fishing with the family.
Love to you all.

My love goes to JoAnn, DeeDee and Darla.
I had the pleasure of having Bob as a neighbor growing up as a young girl. Bob was always such a sweet, loving and caring individual. He always was a hard worker and provider for his family. He had a beautiful smile and always made me feel at home whenever I would come over to play. He has been a great example of kindness, generosity and love. He will be dearly missed. All my love to each of you! XXOO

JoAnn, so sorry to learn of Bobby's passing. You know we're related: his father and my grandfather Albert were brothers. I always loved his sweet smile and his gentleness. My love to you, Bonnie Beck

My love goes to JoAnn

I always remember him as such a sweet dad to DeeDee & Darla. Very kind to always let us have cheerleading practice in their driveway. What a way to end your day with a bunch of girls yelling cheers at the top of their lungs.
