Dear Judy, Joan and family:

I remember uncle Bob the day he put his family in his car and left OH for AZ. I cried for hours. I was six years old. My family looked forward to their return, about every six years, when we would get to be with them again.

After graduation from high school my sister and I took the train out to visit. That was quite the trip. I still have many photo of all the sight seeing he and aunt Pearl took us on.

In the 80's my husband,...

Dear Judy and Joann, Sorry for the loss of Bob. Glad we were able to share in celebrating his birthday one year. His stories from the past were the best. There was also the music evening that he really got into it. Joan & Ken

Judy, Jo Ann and families: You have my deepest sympathy. Uncle Bob was the kindest, most gentle person I have ever met. I loved to listen to him talk, tell and read his stories. He and Elizabeth came to our home in Oak Harbor and stayed several days. They were in love and it was a joy to see Uncle Bob so happy. I was fortunate to get to spend a week fishing with Uncle Bob on the French River with my dad, brothers and Clem. We had such a good time - he loved to fish and tell stories. ...

Uncle Bob will be missed by all who knew him.

One of my greatest memories was when he came "home" to Ohio and took a shovel and proceeded to dig a hole near one of the barns. Being curious, I walked over and asked him why he was digging a hole. He told me that years ago he had lost a watch near this spot and hoped to find it. I watched as he took two more shovels of dirt from the hole and there it was! A watch, somehow surviving years of being buried, and still ticking! I was young...

To the Robert Ewing family, I hope Uncle Bob likes playing cribbage, because I think my dad, Guy Ewing, will be there to greet him into the hereafter, with a cribbage board,a pack of cards and a big smile! Dad loved his relatives and I know he'd be wanting to hug and kiss everyone and give them his condolences.

I don't remember Uncle Bob, but I remember being very young and visiting the old family farm, running around outside with cousins and looking at cats. I also remember a...

Dear Judy, Joann, & Family,

God has a new Angel, who was a precious part of the Ewing Family on Earth. You who have cared for Dad, Grandpa, or Bob now have a guardian angel caring & watching over you. Thank you so much!
Uncle Bob gave me so much joy, love, & wonderful memories which I cherish & will continue to share during my walk through life. My memories include: The excitement when Uncle Bob, Aunt Pearl, Judy, & Joan visited us on our Ohio farm as a kid; Visiting Arizona...

To Judy, Joan and family,
Uncle Bob was a joy to spend time with. He taught me how to play euchre and showed Jim, Matthew and me a wonderful time in Florida. Aunt Elizabeth loved to be with Matthew and
share Easter with him.

I cherished the stories about the farm.. He gave me a better understanding of my own husband Jim's past and the richness of their life in
Ohio.

One of the stories I enjoyed was hearing about how he would cut the hay and put it...

To the Robert Ewing Family:
I will always cherish the memories that I have of Uncle Bob. Growing up I did not get the chance to spend much time with him because of him living in Arizona. I remember the vacation that my family took to see him and Aunt Pearl in Tucson. We had a wonderful time with him showing us all around. I also had the opportunity to go with him to Canada fishing and I remember all the great stories he shared with us about him growing up with my dad and my...
