Bob never knew a stranger, he genuinely loved talking and sharing common interests with anyone he met. Bob had a whacky sense of humor, expressive nature and the uncanny ability to have a "lengthy" story to tell for any topic that was raised.

Keith and I will really miss Bob. He was always a pleasure to talk with and to see at church - he was a warm and comfortable person that was nice to have in your circles of friends. Keith enjoyed talking golf with him, too. We are glad we had an opportunity to do Top Golf with Bob and also spend several hours exploring the mountains with Bob and Donna one autumn day, where we were introduced to a Dunkle and learned about "snackie poo" dinners. We had one in his honor/memory recently and will...

My Papa was a loving man. Like what it said above, he knew no stranger and anyone who met him instantly made a friend. He loved his family, his country, and most of all his Lord. It hurts not to have him here with me but I know where he's at and know that I will see him again, just not as often as I'd like. He was my Papa and I was his Alayna-Poo. My memories will always be of us singing and dancing to Sugar Pie Honey Bunch and laughing at each others jokes. I love you Papa, forever and...

It seems like yesterday when we were all up at Castle AFB, still serving our country, raising our kids and having so much fun. It saddens my heart to hear you have left us here, but we know you're up in heaven being your joyful self. My prayers for strength and love to you Donna and your whole family. ❤

Bob was my friend and I loved him dearly. I'm crushed by his passing, but hopeful for his resurrection by the tender mercies of our Lord, whom Bob trusted and followed into death. My condolences to Donna, Derrick and Simonie. Bob was a kind and generous person, and a loyal friend. He loved his God, his family, and his country. He was a patriot and believed in the greatness of America, for which he served to protect. Thank you, Bob, for being my friend. I'll miss you, buddy.
