"Miss You Buddy!"

Miss You Bob, our adventures with you & Rusty will always be treasured.!

Bob's memorial service was so full of wonderful and humorous stories. I wish I'd gotten to know him but I could tell that he gave a lot to everyone who's life he touched. I've shared several of the stories with others and they never fail to elicit a chuckle. What a great legacy!

Uncle Bob will be greatly missed but never forgotten. His quick wit always brought out a laugh on the many hunting and fishing trips that we took together over the years. He was always looking for the next outdoor adventure and I could always count on him to rearrange his schedule so he could go with me. Rusty, thank you so much for taking such good care of him. Kathy, keep doing an outstanding job of running and expanding Beckel Canvas. Bob loved you both very much. Mark.

I was very sorry to hear of Bob's passing. My sincere condolences to Rusty, Kathleen and family. I have many fun memories of Bob at the various sporting shows we worked and enjoy the many EENA products I own. His devotion and work for the preservation of wildlife is a gift to all. You will be missed.

So sorry for your loss. My prayers go out to you and your family.

Rusty,

I am very sorry to hear about your loss, especially during this time of year. My family's thoughts and prayers go out to you and all of your family during this difficult time.

Respectfully, Roy Weedman

Rusty,
So sorry for your loss. It was evident how much you meant to each other. Wishing you peace and comfort.

Rusty, so very sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I came by your home on the river often (could never find you at home) but often chatted with Bob. He was open, friendly and engaging. When out kayaking I found him puttering around the boathouse several times and we had wonderful talks about the birds, fishing and how the river front had changed over time. I know he loved having you in his life-it was evident in many ways. As a neighbor and friend, he will be missed.
