Bob and Martha a fixture at most of the Women's Softball games. Bob wore many hats, a coach, umpire, & spectator; Martha there alongside cheering everyone on. Those were joyous times. We love this couple they will be sadly missed. RIP.

Dear Family, I briefly knew Bob when he lived in Modesto at FVM. We had donuts and coffee and talked about baseball. I will miss talking with him.

My husband and I did not know Bob as well as my siblings and their families. But we knew him well enough to know, Bob not only knew the Word of God; he lived it. When my mom passed away Bob befriended my dad, who was suffering from dementia. He took him to the senior softball and bowling games and other activities . Bob and Martha were truly an exemplary couple. I can only imagine God words, Welcome Home, " my good and faithful servant." ( Matthew 25:21) Rest in Peace Bob. Fred and...

Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends. Bob was everything to everyone. He loved and was their for each one of. He gave his heart and soul in being a difference maker. He is a disciple of Christ. Bob walked with Jesus in obedience, with love and compassion. He took care of the sick, fed the poor, sacrificed unconditionally, he was there for me and my family. I am blessed to know such a man with a such character. His legacy will always be with us. GOD be with each one of us...

I remember him from my Big Valley Church days. His wife and him were so kind.

I worked with Bob at Hart Floral about 20 years ago. I am so sorry for your loss. He was a very special person.

Thank you, Bob, for the friendship we shared. I met you when I first started playing softball with Kay. Back then, I had no idea how much you loved softball. Thank you so much for your work in getting "League Of Their Own" up and running. I'm glad you got to see how much of a success it has become. You have definitely left behind a wonderful legacy. You are loved and you will most definitely be missed. Esper

Bob, you will be sorely missed. Your smile was quite infectious too. You were a fantastic Softball coach. Especially when our team took the Gold at Huntsman Senior games. You were with our team, Aches & Pains again when the team, including you as one of our coaches, was inducted into the Hall of Fame. Well I must say I was bewildered last I saw you and you shared with me that you were going to meet the Lord, but only on a special day. You did that Bob. You said goodbye to this life as you...
