Robert W. Kinder

I had the pleasure of first meeting Bob with the Beacock band and then with the Vancouver Pops. He was always an eager and accomplished drummer. I also was associated with Bob with the American Legion Band. He will be missed by all his friends in the music community.

Uncle Bob was a wonderful uncle that always had a smile on his face. He was a wonderful example all my life as a family man. Loved by everyone and not forgotten easily by anyone. I will truly truly miss him. My thoughts go out to my wonderful Aunt Carol...my good friend Steve. My sweetest little cousin Jenn...and my MIA for a while...but miss him terribly...Paul. I love you all and only pray and hope for positive thoughts for you all.

Thankful for my earthly Father, Robert Kinder, who provided an unwavering testimony of faithfulness to all of the things of our Heavenly Father, The Lord Jesus Christ. In this as well as other things your legacy and memory will live on Dad. I Thessalonians 4: 16-17

Carol, I am so sorry but also so grateful I was lucky enough to know Bob and your family! You served many a Sunday dinner toJill and she always loved being around you all. In fact she always told me how much she loved your pot roasts and sharing dinner with you and Bob. Those two girls always teased him but how they loved him! It's seems so appropriate that today before I knew it was the day of his memorial that I put a pot roast in the oven :) take care and my love to you and your family!

Bob was a great drummer and did a good job coordinating the music for the Dixieland Jazz Society. We will miss him.

I will remember Bob as an all round nice guy- a good person. He worked so hard for the Portland Dixieland Jazz Society and will be missed by many of us. Condolences to his family at this sad time.

It's been a privilege to know Bob through New Horizons Band. Milt loved helping him with the drum set-up and I liked Rhode Island. What a great guy! May God sustain you through this time.

Dad,

I will forever miss watching you watch your beloved Dallas Cowboys. You had a passion for the game that rubbed off on me and your Granddaughter. I can still picture you yelling at the TV (with that awesome RI accent) like the players could actually hear you or calling the plays as if you were the coach and the referee. I am grateful for the way you lived your life and the values that you taught your children and the role model you were to your Granddaughter. I appreciate...

Carol was so sorry to here of your lost.You will be in my thoughts and prays.Bob was a good person.I will always remember the fun times we all had together. love ya Florine
