Robert I. Painter

Deepest heart felt condolences Elaine. Met Bob when I was in high school,1970, he gave me a job, taught me many things about boats and VW's. He was a lifelong friend, such a great sense of humor, many good years with Bob and Champ there. I will miss Bob. Jeff D.

Unlike a lot of Bobs friends I knew him for a short time. But isn't it amazing how close you can become in a few short years. I stopped by just to hang out and talk and often found him helping a young GI with car troubles. He'd guide them to parts in the back or sometimes to repairs on the spot. And then when they asked what they owed, he'd say they didn't owe him anything. You see, he had already collected his fee. He took payment by just being able to help people. You just don't meet...

Elaine we are so sorry to hear of your loss. God bless you and I know Bob Is at peace now.

Grandpa I always thought when you would tease me it was because I was gullible & you were the joke master. It took quite a few years to realize, you teased me & gave me a hard time because you loved me. Plus Elaine had told me a few times. I will miss your teasing. I will always remember going to elephant butte, boatin, skiing, picnics, and Volkswagen you made me love! Love you always as well.

Thinking of all my family at this time with deep sympathy and may god comfort you in this time of sorrow. Love to you all and many hugs. Cheryl Woodall Jenkins and Larry Jenkins

Bob where always a dear friend to us! Our thoughts and prayers go out to Elaine and family! We will surely miss him.

Thinking of you all with sympathy & prayers.
