Robert Rex Klingensmith

I am the last of 5 fishing men who fused togeather Ed

I fished with him and Darrel Whitmor, Sam Matthews, & Roger Stone. Now they are all gone. We had some
great times together.

I was inspired to write a poem for my Grandpa Klingensmith:

Using portraits and stories of life

Is the way they announce those who died

Today’s edition will show

The most recent to go



I should recognize one of them today

I wonder just what they will say

Can words capture the essence of one who blessed us so?



"A husband to one

And a father to four,

A decorated...

When I returned from Kino Bay last night

We are saddened to hear of Bob's passing. May God hold all of you in the palm of his hand and give you peace.
We love you, Betty, KaraSue and family

Uncle Bob... I'll never forget going to your house with my mom (Sara) and dad (Ned) many nights watching you all playing cards, you showing us your rattle snake rattles and playing the harmonica. Say hi to my daddy in heaven and have a beer I know he will be there waiting for you. Barbs, Robin and sisters (family) my hearts go out to all of you during this time of great loss. Your husband/father will forever be part of the Robinson history and greatly missed. Blessing

Barbara,
Sam matthews called me today to let me
know that Bob passed away. I remember the
great times we would have going fishing
as the bunch of "5": Sam, Bob, Darrell,
Roger, and me. I am so sorry for your
loss. It will take time to heal. God
Bless you.
Ed Bell

Barbara,
I am so sorry for your loss. It's been a long time since we worked together at the Chamber of Commerce. It's odd that our paths haven't crossed over the years. Please accept my sincerest sympanthies. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
Fondly, Carol Orcutt
