Guest Book

Not sure what to say?

Karen, It's taken me too long to write in this guest book. Loosing my father the same week Bob passed, it was just too much for me to face until now. Bob was such a part of my life for the past 40 or so years. I miss him so much. Everytime Bob reinvented himself, I was there. Everytime I reinvented myself, Bob was there.
As I shared with him many times, I have a wonderful photo of him during his time in Hawaii, where he was climbing a palm tree smiling that big goofy smile and looking...

Karen,

I was so sorry to hear of Robert's death. I was just thinking of you two a while back and remembering how much I enjoyed working with you both. Robert especially touched me with his kindness, and youthful energy. He always had a great smile and a great attitude. I am so grateful that not only did I get to meet him, but get to know him for a little while. He will be missed.

Thinking of you,
Melody

Dear, dear Karen. We were stunned to hear of Robert's passing. He was so full of life! The world is certainly a lesser place without him. We feel so fortunate that you shared him with us. The pictures on the the Rogue are priceless, and the "Birding and Blues" event was so fun. Know that we are thinking of you and wishing you peace.

Hello Karen,
I know that guy!! that is Bob. The photo stared at me from deep in the page. You chose a very memorable photograph which captured the elusive essence of the man he was.

I first met Bob some 15 years ago in Portland at Portland Brewing on Flanders St. Although strangers to each other, we soon found that we had much in common and the subsequent casual encounters encouraged many enjoyable conversations.
I don't remember Bob as a 'real' drinker but one who...

To Robert's wife, Karen and daughter Karen and son Scott,

We were so sorry to learn of Robert's death but so thankful that we met him twelve years ago when he took us on as clients. Through the years we had many conversations, especially political, that became very lively during the era of George W! He was a wonderful person to be around and to enjoy. We will miss him.

I first met Bob in Corvallis 45 years ago, I was 6. He and my dad both work for PP&L He always had the best smile and great deep laugh. I couldn’t say Dady back then and so called him daddy from then on. Haven’t seen him in 30 years but will always remember him. God Bless his family

I was so sorry to hear about Robert's death. I knew Robert and Jude in Hawaii, and have lots of memories of the great times we had together. We were a part of a group of close friends that had parties, went boating, and really enjoyed life in Hawaii. Although I have lost touch over the years, I can see by his photo and comments from friends that he was still a fun-loving unique guy who will be missed by his friends and family.

Dear Karen,
Thank you for the great picture of Bob! I am so greatful for the visit I had in early June with him. We had a lovely couple of hours to talk old stories and reflect on what lied ahead for both of us. I got to see many pictures of his beloved homes in Mexico and your sanctuary at the coast. I miss him dearly and when I think of him I see him in my home listening to the talk shows on the radio while swinging a hammer or saw, making my home a better place to live. He will...
