Bobby has been a part of the Dayton family for many years. He was a dedicated person and a good friend. He will be missed a lot by all of us.

Dear Gail, John, and Mike. I send you and your families my deepest sympathies on your loss of Bob. He was a dear friend of mine throughout our high school years. I will truely miss seeing him when he would come in to the city for lunch or a walk. I am so sorry that I was unable to make the service. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I first met Bobby when I started with the company then known as TRW HD back in 1987. He always treated me with respect and provided me with many a helpful suggestions and advise. He never backed down to a challange in his business and personal life. I know that I have benefitted from him and I am sure many others have has well.

Ripple was an amazing father and husband and a great family friend. My family will miss him tremendously. I'll never forget coming home from college in the summer and looking out the window to see him and Gail going for a walk holding hands. He loves her so dearly.

Now he's in God's hands and is fellowshipping with his daughter and parents. God bless his family in this trying time.
