Robert Provines

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

I served directly under Col Provines when he was the Deputy Commander for Military Training at USAF Officer Training School.
He was a wonderful leader and I admired him very much.
He was the person who got me an assignment as a Recruiting Service Squadron Commander ... where I learned important things I am using to this day.
God rest you, Colonel Provines. A good man.
Dave Cooley, Lt Col, USAF (Ret)

I was fortunate to be one of Colonel Provines' squadron commanders when he served the Air Force as a Recruiting Group Commander responsible for all recruiting efforts across the Western USA. Through his personal examples, he taught me lessons in professionalism, the importance of treating everyone with respect and always paying attention to detail. He was a great commander but more importantly a great person. I will always remember him.

My condolences to Bobs family. He was a great tennis player and tennis advocate. He will be missed by his teammates and all his friends in the tennis community!

My condolences to the Provines family. I worked with Col Provines in military banking for several years and he was very kind and generous and I am honored to have met him and Mrs. Provines. My thoughts & prayers go out to the family.

Col and Mrs Provines
There are no words to express the sorrow I feel for this great loss. Bob was a great friend to me and my family. I look back on my experiences working for him with great fondness and love. He will be missed. May your faith sustain you. 1Cor 15:12-21.

Dear Sharry and family,
We're sorry to hear of Bob's passing.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sorrow. With sincere sympathy, Ron & Debbie Provines

Deepest condolences to Mrs Provines and all the family. Bob happily helped my wife and I with tennis products and instruction. He was especially kind and patient with my wife, a novice. He also generously gave of his time to consult and advise our neighborhood homeowners association board on our tennis facility. Bob will be deeply missed by all of the us in the tennis community.

He was a first class guy there will be none like him again. It was a pleasure knowing him and serving with him.
