Not sure what to say?

I met Bobby a long, long time ago through Bob Reese and the Reese family. He was a gentle sole with a tremendous smile. He was a great "Bud." I saw him after the passing of DIck Reese-good ol' friends, warm smile and great hug. Sad but you are at peace now my fiend.

I worked with Bob at The Bee and I always appreciated his work ethic and desire to make work FUN. He was a good man.

Cousin Robert, rest in blissful Peace! Pray for us whom you've left behind. Love and blessings, Cousin Sara and Ed Lockwood

I worked briefly with Bob at The Bee. He along with Dorothy, Michael Warren, Randy Ishida, and Chrysta Singleton made the floor go! Bob had a good sense of humor and I wish I had known better.

I didn't know Bob well, but I know, Steph, that you loved each other so much, and he made you very happy, for that I am so grateful.
I am praying for you, Sweetie, during this difficult time!!
Love and hugs,
Aunt Tris

It was my intention to attend Bob's celebration of life today, but that did not happen. However I said my good bye to a fellow Indy car race fan. You are no longer in pain and now have peace, my friend.

OK, this is my third attempt. I loved Bob' smile and laughter. Bob smiled with his whole face. He really was a joy to be around. Bob and I both loved Indy car racing. If there had been a race that weekend, on Monday we discussed the winner, the poor driver who came in second place by only half second, the pit crews, drivers who became involved in accidents and why, those who DNV.
My friend is at peace now. Lord, thank you for the opportunity of meeting Bob...I am blessed.

I knew Bob from The Sacramento Bee. I'll always remember Bob's smile, laughter and sometimes even giggles. After each Indy Race on the weekend, we always had to discuss the race...drivers, pit crews, who we thought was responsible for a crash, what we thought of the winner and the second place winner losing by seconds. God, thank you for crossing my path with Bob's. What a blessing.
