Not sure what to say?

We always smiled at Betty's grimace when David called him "Bad Bob". In today's lingo "bad" means really good and that is what Bob Banford was to us. A loyal friend to count on and if you asked Bob a question, he invariably knew the answer. Bob, not a large man, but a huge personality and if you needed back up - he was da man! We will miss you Bob, and to Betty our love and condolences are sent your way. God bless you and your family, Love David and Valerie Kelly

We will miss Bob very much, especialy at our reunions. Joy and I loved the same old cars that Bob did and enjoyed talking to both of you. Val (and Joy).

Dear Betty,
I was greatly sadden when I read Bob's obituary this morning. Carol and I extend our condolences and deepest sympathies to you and your family.
Please let me know about the Celebration of life because I want to hear all the crazy stories about Bob and maybe add some myself. He was always such an interesting character.

Dear Betty & Family. So sorry to hear the news about Bob. He kept the Hot Rods & friendships alive with a lot of people. Great guy & friend. His memory will always be there when I Fire up an Old Hot Rod. My deepest Condolences. Bill Paschall

To the family of Robert,
