I'M SO SORRY FOR YOU LOSS. I HAVE SUCH GREAT MEMORIES OF YOUR DAD AND
ESPECIALLY THE LAST TIME HE TOOK DEBBIE AND I OUT ON HIS PONTOON BOAT IN THE GULF OF MEXICO. HE WAS FULL OF LIFE AND CARED FOR EVERYONE.
HE ALWAYS MADE ME FEEL LIKE A WELCOME MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY. LOVE ONE ANOTHER. BE STRONG. I LOVE YOU ALL--MICKEY

Bob ol buddy, it seems you got a ealier start time than I. Tell you what my friend, I'll meet you at the 11th Tee box, in the shadow of that big old Oak tree. Wait for me there my brother, it's going to be a great day.

Bob was a part of our family for almost 50 years, Bob was more than a Brother-in-law, to me he was another Brother. Memories come,airplane rides,boat rides, jeep rides over dirt hills,rides on a giant bike and viewing the Grand Canyon together. What joy he has brought to our hearts with his gift of humor. Sad hearts are left behind, because we will miss him, but rejoicing in Heaven, where we will rejoin him.

To Jim, a very dear friend, and the whole Van Hook family, We want you to know that we have had all of you in our thoughts and prayers for several weeks. We understand the loss and emptiness that you feel by losing your Dad. But we are here for you always. If we can do anything for you or your family, we'll be there. I wish we could have been there to walk with you for the last week. We are here for you now in the days and years to come. We love you & Kathy dearly,We send our love to your...

Debbie & your family. Tho, I never got a chance to meet your dad, I saw and heard often of your love for him. It always amazed me how close you all were. Always finding ways to get together, the fun you had when you were together. I know he was a great man. You don't come across families like yours without the "backbone" to build it. Your dad seems to have accomplished many things in his lifetime. Number one, his family. I am just so sorry that I couldn't make it to the funeral home to see...

Jean,Mike,Jamie,Pam,Debbie,Marsha,J oyce&Robin,
We are sharing your loss. It was an
honor to know such a great man as Bob. May you find comfort in all the
great memories.

To the Van Hooks,
Im not sure if you'll remember me, Im the daughter of the late Herb & Grace Judy,(passed 2001), but when I saw that Bob had passed away, a rush of childhood memories passed by. Im sorry for your loss, for losing a spouse or father leaves such a void in your heart, but I pray that the memories will always fill that void for you as they have for me. May God be with you all and give you the strength that you need in this sorrowfull time.

Our thoughts are with the family and friends at this time.

My Prayers are with you.
