Not sure what to say?

Just a wonderful friend, neighbor, and a wonderful gentleman all around. Always cheerful and pleasant

Uncle Bob, You were a wonderful Uncle and I will always love you!

Uncle Bob, I love you so much! You were there for me when I needed you. Give my Mom a hug for me, please! Love, Karen

Both my wife ,Elizabeth and I worked extensively with Bob since 1993 professionally and probably on over 100 cases, 25 or more that he was heavily involved with at every level.

I dont think I ever had a conversation with Bob that didnt end with a chuckle from him or many chuckles.

I had never seen Bob without a suit on and it was overwhelming to see that he had in his life the same generous personality that I experienced in a work setting extended into the most important...

Bob was truly a good friend and colleague . He was a kind and good person. I will truly miss him. I have not spoken to Bob in about a month. I was shocked to hear of his passing. My condolences to his family.

Drew and I send our condolences to the Mayes family. We are very saddened, Bob was a fine lawyer and a good person. I know he will be missed.

I had the pleasure of speaking to him a countless number of times over the years about many cases. He was always quick to advise me and help me, many times when there was nothing in it for him. I am grateful for the knowledge he shared and the willingness with which he did it. Thank you Mr. Mayes for the many chats and the many tidbits of advice and the friendship. My deepest condolences to the family.

When I first came back to the Panhandle as a brand spanking new attorney in 1979 Bob was one of the first attorneys I met and early on I knew I could trust him. More than that, Bob was "old school", ever the gentleman and gracious in his treatment of others including me. While a dedicated advocate for others, he was always patient and understanding at the same time. Regrettably, I worry that there will not be more like him. Bob belonged to a very special but limited group of gentlemen...

We express our deepest sympathy to Bobs Family. He was a very good man and neighbor, and we will miss him. John, Carolyn, and John Jr. Couch
