Dearest Dad we wake on this New Year mourning the loss of your #1 son, your namesake, Bobby. I have no sense of how to sort it all out but I keep hearing your wise words that life is for the living, so we will persevere to do so. Mom's heartache is beyond measure yet she continues forward but this family is not the one you left. We need you to find order and lead us thru it all. This year has been a test for the world and all we can hope for is a better 2021. One Day At A Time. I love...

My apologies for the belated greeting. Life gets busier each day but thoughts of what you and mom went through for all of us keeps me looking forward. Pet the kids for me and say hello to Harold. Love, Bobby.

Happy Father's Day Daddy. I've been at the cabin this past week after Tina and I brought Mom up the week before. The ebb and flow of this thing called life gets harder, your wise words, your powerful influence and kind love is missed in this family. Usually your words are always there for me, but it gets quieter each day. Humor and laughter to balance the struggle seems to lessens each day. This too pass is all I can say and I look forward to those words coming to fruition. Thank you...

Happy birthday Daddy! Mom and I spent the weekend at the cabin which flooded last winter. We were unpacking 300 boxes, and I'm happy to tell you that the cabin has new cabinets, new floors/baseboards, new paint, new toilets and new plumbing in those "boogered up" places. It will be all good to go by next summer. We will gather for dinner tonight to celebrate yours and Larry's birthdays. I miss you more than words can say. LoveIAM #1 Daughter

Happy Father's Day Daddy. Your #1 daughter misses you every day and is si grateful for your wisdom and strength that I draw on all the time. LoveIAM

Happy Fathers Day. How about that Great Grand Daughter of yours, Autumn? Seeing that baby makes me understand the feelings you and mom have for all our family. Times are starting to turn for the better, with the exception of politics. I love you and I miss you. Pet the kids for me and say hello to Harold. Bob Jr.

Sure do miss you Big Dad. Facebook popped up this memory post today. It's actually Calli's 16th birthday today. Chris is an amazing dad and she's super smart, beautiful, and talented.

G & I were hoping to get to the cabin this week but it may not work out as Aunt Peg passed away yesterday. Depends on the services plus

The love of your life is still as beautiful as ever. We're so blessed to have her and the love she shares.

Happy birthday Daddy. I'm at the cabin with your bride enjoying those gorgeous Indian Summers in "Paradise" you built. Took Mom to Payson yesterday and she shopped until I dropped. I'm not buying how her feet hurt, she can go the distance further than anyone of us.

My life took a few twists and turns this spring, but landing on my feet with yet another home. This one I hope to keep, but it certainly pushes my retirement back a few years.

Gibson is tall, and tolerable as...

Happy Father's Day dearest Dad. There is not a day that goes by that I'm not quoting you or feeling equally happy and sad thinking of you. You gave so much to all your family, and many more, some that will never know you were the source of unexpected gifts and needs fulfilled. You always did so much so effortlessly that we find ourselves floundering to figure out where, how, what, when! We continue to be very blessed and pursue living life as you would, full of love, optimism, drive and...
