he was a good uncle

as akid I always wanted tomeet him he proved Nessie I no that he discovered a wonder of America RIP mr rines u r my one true hero

I am missing you today dear Bob. It seems impossible that such a great man has left this world. My deepest thanks for a wonderful friendship you offered me and my children. God Bless you my friend.

Bob was one of the funniest, smartest men I ever met - a true renaissance man. I still sing the very funny song he wrote about Nessie for his children's book.... "Oh, oh, oh oh, ooooooohhhh. I'm a perfectly possible, plausible plesiosaur..." The world has lost a truly great man. My deepest condolences to his faily and all who loved him.

I just heard. My heart is heavy this evening. To the entire Rines family and to those who were deeply touched and impacted by him, my sympathies. God Bless...

A friend and long-time admirer.

God has your loved ones now, they are safe, may God bring you peace in your sorrow.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

love the call family
