Robert Alexander Procter

Was truly saddened to learn of Bob's passing. I have known Bob since I was a small boy as my parents, the Lawtons from Fillmore, My aunt Maida Hager, and Bobs parents were good friends. I new Bob a lot better as I grew older because He didn't have much in common when he was 19 and I wasI was about 6 or 7 and we visited The Procters and I spent most of my time looking at the pet Rattle Snake located on the porch. Later on, Jim and his friend always stopped by my aunts and dropped off several...

I was in school at SPUHS the same time as Jim and John but very much a mouse in the background (they were popular upperclassmen). It doesn't seem that long ago that I saw Mr. Procter at the post office, struck by the sight of people actually lining up to talk to him. He looked so fit, with a happy, relaxed face, years younger than what I see is his actual age. Nancy King and I were just exchanging a few words on e-mail about him...and you look at these pages of Guest Book comments...gosh,...

Dear Ann, John, and Jim: you all are in my thoughts at this difficult time. It is hard to imagine the city without Bob, he was part of the fabric of the community. Your father was a special breed of man who stared down danger and adversity and faced it head on, not backing down, a rare strength of character. We will all miss him.
With sincerest sympathy.

Bob was a wonderful man who will be missed greatly.  We have enjoyed many lunches, tales and laughter over the years and will treasure his sense of humor and candor always.  Our condolences to each family member who has lost someone very special.

Bob was a our friend as he was to many. We enjoyed his humor & stories - always in good taste. I, Gene, worked for Bob, so to speak , when he was a Director on the Limoneira Board & I reported to it as V.P. of Sales. We attented many meetings, BBQs & just good GTGs
We will miss Bob..he was a tribute to his generation. Our best thoughts go to the Procter Family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with John and the entire Procter Family! Bob was such a special man, and a true Cowboy! I remember being a teenager and having such fun hanging out at Bob's learning to drive in his ol' white Truck! Bob, you will always have a special place in my heart! Rest In Peace! Heaven is a much happier place now that you are there!

What a wonderful memorial for Bob yesterday! I took Bob to dinner at Logsdon's in November 2008 (we shared November birthdays) surrounded by other good friends, all women (the Mora sisters, AnaMaria, Linda and Theresa). Several people stopped by to say hi, and after their second look when they noticed he was surrounded by women...indeed was the King of the Round Table! He was, and will always be, my very special friend!

Dear Proctor Family,
Your dad remembered me from when I was a baby, living in the big white house across from the big green house on S.P. Street. He probably knew more family histories in Santa Paula than the actual families did! I will miss seeing him around town and especially running into him at Logsdon's. Conversations with him were never boring and I truly enjoyed his company! I'd have loved to have gone on a trail ride with him. I remember seeing hiim come by with horses at the...
