Robert R. Hargrove Jr.

Gail,
One of the best memories I have of Bob is when I was admitted to the Scott AFB Hospital while stationed assigned to the Offutt Band and he took the time to come and visit with me. Bob will always be remembered as a loving, caring individual! Bob had a heart the size of Manhattan and could bring a smile to everyone’s face under any condition. We are deeply saddened by your loss. Please know that you and your family are in our hearts, thoughts, and prayers.
Sincerely,

My Memories of Bob as a young man were nothing but good , if you couldn't get along with him you couldn't get along with anyone . Bobby was always positive , never complained , was always jovial and pleasant to be with . Bobby was an example to all , his passing occured while helping his mother , something he was faithful to do . With sadness I am addressing this and will always remember his kind words and pleasant attitude.

Bob was my supervisor and friend at the band at Scott. We played in the "world's shortest woodwind quintet" together and he always teased me about my Minnesota accent. I will miss him! Gail, you and your family are in our prayers.

Gone but never forgotten, we all love you Uncle Bob. ~Trista

Dear Gail, Gwen, and Robby,
Your family has been through so much recently. Our prayers are with you!
Bob will be so missed by our family. I remember playing with him, taking turns with his pedal car . . maybe we were 4 and 5 or so. I remember when he was playing clarinet, then bassoon. He married you and joined the Air Force. When he was stationed at Offutt your family welcomed me and you got to meet Rick. It was nice to have family in town as I became a military wife. We have...

Dear Gail-

I am very sorry for your loss. Bob not only was my mentor but my inspiration for picking up the bassoon. I always looked forward to the Taylor reunions, hoping I would get time to tell Bob of my achievements and goals of the year. His encouragement and passion has helped create me as a bassoonist. I will not forget him or what he has taught me. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers these coming months.

Gail, we are very sorry for the loss of Bob and offer our deepest sympathy and prayers for your family. We shared his humor and appreciate his loyalty to the band and all it's members. He will be truly missed.

I was in the Scott AFB Band 1990 to 1997. Bob was a quick wit and a good colleague. I am so very sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I remember Bob from our time together at Lackland. Praying for peace, comfort and wonderful memories for you Gail.
