Remember Bob as a fun loving, friendly person, a person you enjoyed being around

My prayer is with the family that healing is at a point of acceptance now.

What a loving kind person Bobby was. He leaves so many great memories to all of us. I will miss him so much.Love and prayers to Deloras and his siblings, children and grandchildren Aunt Geneva

Bobby was a classmate and a good friend. We played football under the excellent leadership of coach Warren Headrick. Bobby was tough, strong, and dedicated.

goodby Bobby, see you later.

Penny, So sorry for your loss. lLove and miss you guys, Greg Eaton Family

Bobby was the greatest. I will miss him and his love of doing fun things especially to his Aunts.

What a great man and a great family. Know that he will be sorely missed by all.

My condolences to Bobby's family.

Prayers and thoughts go out to the family during this time. Always Bob and the others over the years when I was able to attend the Sowders reunions. A soldier has gone home.
