Robert "Bob" PARKER

Oh Laurie, I am so sad for your loss. Bob's celebration of life service was so absolutely beautiful. So much I learned about Bob - A passionate man for our military & for America ... a great love for his friends & how he artistically created those hand-made fishing rods for those closest to him, down to thread colors with great significance ... and of course, I knew of his great love for you and Alyssa. Please know I continue to keep you in thoughts and prayer ... with much love, Diana

Laurie : I am so very sorry for your loss. May the God of comfort be with you in your time of need.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Bob will always have a special place in my heart. I will cherish my most favorite memory of Bob when he first met me at a family gathering, taking pictures. He said are you joining us for the family pic. I said I'm not sure it's my place. You're now part of the family Betty! Come join us We didn't get to see Bob often but when we did they were always special. I will miss him.

It's very hard to express in words my sympathy for you Laurie. While working so close with you and the team, I had the great opportunity to meet Bob through work events, parties at Janet's and even quicks stops in the office.

Over time, I saw what a great example Bob was for young men like me. A man with strong convictions and who treated his wife with love and respect regardless of any differences. That and much more is the legacy that Bob leaves behind, and it's such a great one for...

Bob treated me like a brother always a great sense of humor . He made me smile and appreciate life .
I feel full of sadness he is no longer here, fond memories of him will comfort me always.

My family grieves for the loss of Bob. He was a good friend when he lived here in Jacksonville, and we fished together many times. He was always willing to lend a hand on fixing my boat. He will be missed.

We are so sorry to hear about Bob's passing...He was a past president of the JOSFC & made many friends through fishing. Our prayers go out to the family & friends. Psalm 23

Dear Laurie,
After meeting Bob at the RJ Christmas party last year, I had to let you know how kind and supportive he sounded. You, of course, agreed! I now know he was so much more. Our hearts are breaking for you, Alyssa, family and so very many friends that loved him. It is miraculous that two of the nicest people in the world found each other.
