Not sure what to say?

As a child growing up in the early 60's, going to Boyd's Pet Store was a truly delightful experience, especially getting to pet Judy, the Ocelot

I was a Central Pet sales person, and really miss running in to Bob at various Pet stores after he retired.

I will always remember as a kid,wanting to go to Boyd’s pet shop which was the only real pet store around. Years later I bought Alley Cat Pet Center in Oregon City.After 25 years in the pet industry I got a job at Central Pet Supply and finally got to meet Bob as he was one of my accounts.I loved the time we worked together and after he closed the store would bump in to him at several of my accounts.I will always cherish the time we spent together.



Just wanted to say I'm thinking of you on this day. Hope you're doing well.

Wonderful person, will be missed. I so enjoyed going into the pet store back in the day and visit when I worked at the US bank. God Bless RIP

My dearest Linda, Our gentle, giving, beloved Bob is with Jesus now. May your memory of him continue to inspire you, and give you strength. "Tithe" your life to Jesus in honor of him. I love you. May Jesus wrap His arms of love around you and comfort you.

Linda, Dana and Cari.... In talking about Heaven, Peter Marshal wrote, "Those we love are with the Lord, and the Lord has promised to be with us.... If they are with Him, and He is with us, they can't be far away."
Many of us loved Bob and the hole he leaves is unimaginable. But we have this great Hope. We will all be together again. What a comfort.
I love you guys.

Linda, Dana, Cari...
I am at a loss for words...your Dad always meant to me that you all were taken care of...I know when I was abandoned he was always your Mom's silent partner of support to me. I appreciated his integrity and solid love for his ladies...I felt honored to be one of them when I lived in Oregon. I love you and am hugging you in my heart right this minute. Call anytime...I am a listening hear. God I know is surrounding you with His love. I love you Linda...I know in...

Linda: Alan & I are so very sorry to hear of Bob's passing. The years have gone by much too quickly. Oh if we could only turn the clock back.
