Circa early 90s

At a party in the early 90s

I am so sorry to hear of Bob's passing! We worked together on Oahu at Perry's of Hawaii, in fact I hired him! I remember after I interviewed him, I told the owner that he should interview him also, because I might be swayed by his looks. He asked, Why, is he really ugly? I said ,No, he's really good-looking! Naturally, he got the job, and based on his qualifications. He was SO good with people! I learned so much from him. Here are some Bob-isms

1. When a customer is really...

I just learned of my cousin Bobby death and am so sad that I did not know about it! We live in minnesota...my mom Margaret and his mom Ione were sisters.He visited here some years ago and also lived with me for a summer in about 1967 or so.He was a very sweet person always filled with teasing and love.I tried to call him in Hawaii and it was no longer his phone..my heart goes out to all those who loved him....I know him and auntie Ione are dancing and hugging in heaven..they adored each other!

In the late 50's and early 60's, Bobby was a great neighbor, a friend, a boyfriend, and then a dear friend! He would walk home with us from Alicia, never a dull moment. We had so much fun and many memories.
My prayers are with him, and thankful that he is with the Lord.
My heart felt sympathy for his family.
Bobby was a special "gift" to all that knew him.
I dedicate a song by the Hawaiian, Izzy, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow"

My husband Rodney and I just learned about Bobby's passing a few days ago and I can't quit thinking about him and the past. Rodney and Bobby were good buddies from the same neighborhood and I met him in 7th grade at Alicia School. What I remember most is how cute and funny he was. And what a dancer. But mostly Bobby was my first crush and my first kiss! This last year we were making attempts to reconnect with him. It didn't happen. I so wish it had.
God Speed Bobby

Rest In Peace Bobby.

Bobby and I became great friends at age 8 because our parents were good friends. By 10 years of age he had moved from Yuba City to Marysville, and we spent many summer days sitting in his drive-way leaning up again his garage door where I would read to him. And then something really miraculous happen. He got an in ground swimming pool, complete with diving board. At age 11 Bobby and friend David Nance would come over to where I was living, also in Linda. One night my best friend Pasqua and...

I had the pleasure of meeting Bob when he was married to Donna. He was truly a great guy and I am so saddened by his death. My love and prayers go out to the family and especially to my dear friend Donna...God's blessing in your time of deep sorrow..
Love,

I feel blessed to get to know him these six months. Communication was difficult but he always made it clear that he loved you. What a gift that will forever be in my heart. Donna, Vanessa, Tony, Marina, and Anthony, so sorry for your loss and I am praying that Jesus will fill the hole in your life by Bobs passing with The Holy Spirit so you can be that much closer to Jesus. So happy that we know our redeemer. Heavenly Father I pray for all those that are grieving the loss of our Bob. ...
