On the one year anniversary of Bob´s passing, please know that our family will always be grateful for his friendship to our Dad. Bob set an awfully high bar to shoot for by showing us what it means "to love others as yourself".

My fond memories of Bob are when we were neighbors on Middlebrook Drive in Clemmons. We lived next door to Bob and his family when I lived there with my mom and dad (John and Lois Hunter). I remember Bob as always the easy-going, helpful neighbor, willing to lend a hand with whatever project was being tackled. After he installed a pool in his backyard, he turned it into a delightful place for our two families to enjoy fellowship together. Bob was a very generous and genuine man. Rest in peace.

Bob Furches was the definition of what a great friend looks like....especially to our Dad. He will be missed by all of us, and the family should be very proud of the man he was and the life he lived. Praise the LORD...something tells me GOD has an everlasting tee time waiting .
