Not sure what to say?

I will fondly remember Mr. Mathison for all of the thoughtful conversations we had, all of the times we ate dinner on the deck, the off jokes that sent me laughing till I was in tears, his stories of hunting in alaska back in the day. Although, the thing that I will miss the most will be seeing his smiling face when I stopped to see Bob and Mary Lou Mathison at their house which I have done for most of the last 20 years. I will miss him very much.

We all adored Bob! My boys especially loved this sweet man who they talked to over the fence all summer long

Bob, we did work together on the pipeline at Ft Wainwright back in 1974 and were friends since... I will miss you Bob... thanks for the years of friendship....my thoughts are with your family... Hi Kevin..

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I will always remember Robert with a smile on his face, and always ready to give a big hug when we would see him around Coon Valley.

Mary Lou and Family,

Bob was such a great guy. We are honored to have known him all these years. Happy memories of him will give you peace.

We will always keep you in our heart Bob and gladly look over your loved ones until we are together again. Treasured memories we share shall unite us for forever. Love R&B Galster clan

Mary Lou ,
Both you and Bob were role models during our time working with you in Marriage Encounter. Bob with his quick wit and you with a laugh for all his jokes. The years together will help you cope with Bob's loss. We remember you both with love.

I had the good fortune to meet Bob when he was at the UofA Commons in the 60s. My first impression, "This guy is really young to be in charge of this kitchen". Immediately I was taken by Bob--friendly, funny and very unpretentious. Our paths crossed a couple of years ago at the golf course and it was like old times, laughing and joking. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. My sincere sympathies to Bob's family.
