Robert Ellis Pekkola

My girls & I remember Bob as a wonderful father & neighbor. God rest in peace, Bob.

What a thoughtful man. When ever I had a question about something around the house I would ask him. HE WAS SUCH A GOOD FRIEND GOD TAKE CARE OF OUR FRIEND.

I appreciate the memories I have of Bob. I loved the smell in the gargage from fresh apples picked from his trees... The Model T... his trousers that reminded me of an old fashioned gentleman. He was a man's man. I was there when the home on Aldercrest was being built. I was so impressed with him and the family he raised. As I read Char's note, I remember all those parades, muddy swamp adventures and girl's clubhouses on Bixel Way. So many good memories.

Bob helped build my home and since has been involved in all of it's remodels. He had a talent that way. We raised our children together as they had parades down the street, played in forts, mud and water at the end of that street and Bob would walk down every so often to check on them. He also honored the girls playhouse sign 'no boys allowed'. Co picnics and family rides in our old cars...such memories, such love and such fun, is how my family remembers BOB.

Bob and I graduated from Milwuakie High School the same year and had a couple classes together. I didn't know him well but knew he was well liked in school. I didn't realize we were both members of the same church. Your family is in my prayers. Gerald (Jerry) Brooks

Pekkola Family, I am so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. He was a wonderful man, and I know his family was VERY important to him. Praying for all of you!

I never met Bob but I went to school with Joe. I am sorry to see the passing of your father as I know he was a great influence to you. I am sure he has earned his wings.
