JR Apodaca and family Bob will be missed our condolences to all the family Bob and his bait bucket have been a very important part of my whole family`s life in fueling our fishing passion thank you bob

My condolences to you and your family

Ben, sorry to hear of your loss. Your father was a good man. It was always a pleasure to speak with him. May his dedication to our community live on.

Clay, Ben and family, I am sorry for the loss of your husband and father. While his life was not easy, he did provide access to fun (fishing) for me and sooo many others. Thank you all for working long hours and for being a great family to our community. Bob looked tired a lot, now he can just rest with his Lord, and enjoy heaven. Randy Ariey

What a great obituary honoring Mr. Rutledge. My condolences to the entire Rutledge family.

My family loved your dad. He helped me teach all my boys how to fish. He answered countless questions and always made us feel special when we came in. I will forever have great memories. Prayers and huggs to you Clay and Ben and all your extended family
