Robert Ernest "Bob" HOSKINSON

Dad,
You were a great father! I was proud to call you dad. You worked harder than anyone I've ever known. You instilled that work ethic in all 8 of your children. I never heard you lie, curse, unprepared, or arrive late anywhere. I was always proud to say this handsome man is my dad. Even with out mom, you were positive everyday, optimistic about life, told jokes, clothes were always pressed and shoes shined.
I will never forget all the great parties, watching football games,...

Dad was very special to many people. He will be missed by all who knew him. Dad taught me many things...to many to even begin to list. Thank you Dad for being an honest and reliable Father. I'll do my best to honor your name.

Daddy,
I miss you so much. I honestly do not know how you remained sane after raising eight kids. I am thankful for the work ethic you instilled in me. You taught me to deal with life through humor and I use that lesson every day.
I know you are heaven with Mom and both of you are watching over us. Love you.

My father was a man who loved his Mid-Western American upbringing. He found pleasure in the simple things in life. He loved his family and God above all else. His humor never stopped. He found great joy in making other people laugh.
On a serious note, he was a great leader for his eight children. He taught us that there was nothing we could not conquer.
We became great friend's after my mother died. I told him "I know why mom loved you."
I love you. Thank you for the special...

I got to know Bob over the past several years at Riveiro and Hoskinson family holiday dinners and parties. I always looked forward to seeing him again at the family events and truly enjoyed our conversations. Bob was quite the story teller and loved to have a good laugh. Those memories will forever be cherished. Bob will surely be missed. Go Gators!

My Grandfather Bob was a hard working man. He and my Grandmother Donna raised eight children. He had a great sense of humor and was always the life of the party. I remember him taking me to the Bucs games in the 80's and he loved the Florida Gators. He loved milks shakes and Elvis. I'll miss our weekly unplanned meetings at Sunshine Thrift and I'll always think of you when eating Trader Joe's Kettle Corn. I'll miss hearing "Hey babe" and your silly voicemails. I believe you are in Heaven...

My love, thoughts & prayers to you all from the bottom of my Iowa heart...I will be with you in Spirit & thought at the service...Uncle Bob always made me feel like I was the most important person in the room whenever we visited, the visits & humor and love for family was what made it so Special...I know he is now happy again united with his love for life Aunt Donna..I have so many great memories & may you all cherrish yours as well..God Bless you all & the memories shared

Bob was a wonderful bother,always stopping by to see what was up. "heard anything from Iowa" ,Loving caring friend .He left me with so many exciting memories from plane rides to old cars. He will be missed.
