Chris: When I read of your father's death, I was reminded of a wonderful visit with y'all at his ranch. His love for the ranch, and for you, was palpable. At that moment, all he needed was the wide open sky, his longhorns, and his family by his side. Sincere condolences to you, Russell, the kids, and all who loved and admired your father.

We were so sorry to learn of Bob's passing. We have wonderful memories of being your neighbors in Clarksville in our little house on W. 10th Street .

We just learned of Bob’s passing. What a wonderful friend and fellow breeder. Our lives are richer for having known him. Our condolences to his wife and family!

Gail you are in our thoughts. We so enjoyed wonderful times with you and Bob. Lee loved visiting at your hill country ranch with Bob´s Longhorns. We will treasure many wonderful memories always. Hoping to see you soon.

My Jimmy just was too tender hearted, so he would roam around the ranch, as we took care of our calves. I learned so much from Bob, he was a special friend. He was special, anyone who could call him friend was so fortunate. God...

He was our landlord for 24 years living next door to he and Jack’s office. Bob was more than our landlord, he was a dear friend. Often when I would drop off my rent check we would have long conversations about art, ranching and anything he was up to. Bob and Gail had us out to their ranch for some fun get-togethers. Bob had a bright happy light that he shined out to everyone and the world. I can still see his happy smile!

Bob was one of my favorite customers. We did many plates for his sculptures. I will miss him greatly. My thoughts and prayers are with his famil
