Not sure what to say?

Spent my formative years in the myrick household growing up with the kids. Living right behind bob and betty if mom needed me she could always find me there with betty. Learned alot from bob and was spoiled by betty with a jar of her famous beet jelly every time she made it. If i ever needed a tool i didnt have bob was always there with advice and with i got one somewhere we just gotta find it. Many fond memories of that household. Will miss hearing blakey being called out.
Much love and...

Bob,
My dear friend I want you to know how sorry I am that I wasn't there for you in your last day's Thought of you often you was very good to me and you will always be in my heart and I know that I'm in yours in till me meet again my friend dearly missed Kimmy

DAD REST IN PEACE!!!

God bless each and every one of you. I've known Bob for so many years. Been neighbors for over 32 years. If I saw him outside when I'd be coming home from work I'd always stop and visit. He would always say "Hi honey. Why don't you quit all that hard working." I remember him way back in the Shawnee Speedway days when I was around 13 years old. He was a crazy guy but so fun. Never would I have thought we would be neighbors and share visits throughout the years. I miss Betty and will miss him...

To the Myrick family: I am very sorry for your loss. Bobby had a good sense of humor and we will miss him.

he was a good friend and a dad to all his kids and u will be very missed my condolences to the family and kids

Sending all the kids our deepest sympathies. I am Diana L. Zarazua and am the son of Celia and John Zarazua. Our parents were good friends when us kids were young. We lived next door to Buehla on Lake street. Dad would always take us to the gas station so he could talk to his old friend. We would go to your home and I have memories of the house by Dupont. I hope my dad and your dad are talking about cars and racing. My mom and I will see you at the viewing. Love and memories to all they...

Sorry for the loss of your Dad. Prayers for the family. I remember coming to your house with Mom ( Aunt Loretta). Your Mom was an angel and still is.

Now you can fly with your pigeons. Watch out for those falcons and hawks. Wink wink. You will be missed my friend.
