My deepest condolences to you all. I so enjoyed all of the chats that I had with Bob, and Rose, throughout the years. I would usually stop by when I saw him doing yard work, and somehow, an intended quick ten minute "hello" would turn into no less than a half-an-hour, usually more, of "shootin' the breeze." He was a true gentleman the likes of which are rarely seen anymore. Sincerely, Sandra Bosko

Bob Sir, You were one of our nations Air Force Colonels. You were also one in a million, and the last of the WWII heroes. You had manned your plane and stood your watch. For all of this, you will never be forgotten.
I know this Nation is truly grateful for your Military Service. Especially during WWII that you had given all you had for the freedoms we take for granted at times. You lived a long and prosperous life. We shall see you in the heavens when our...

So many fond memories flood my mind as I flash back to times long ago at Greenville Cong. and PF. Remembering your parent and especially praying for Rose and your family at this time. Arlene and Bobby, you know you struck it rich with such giving parents. They are and will always be part of who we have all become. I am thinking of you and hoping all is well. With love and gratitude for all the gifts your dad bestowed upon us. That love will go on forever! Dale Pitcher Mainville

Rose, Arlene, Robert, and Families,
Sorry to hear of Bob's passing. What a wonderful gentleman he was.
I remember he and Rose would sit down at night and sing together, as Rose played the piano. He piloted his plane for so many years, both of them enjoying trips, that are great memories to hold on to!! He was a wonderful man to talk with. You could learn so much from him about his life experiences. You were all truly blessed by his life. When you look in the sky, he will still be...
