I, too, would like to thank "Dr.Bob" for all that he did for me and my family. I remember the boots that he always wore, the bola tie and his crew cut. I trusted him implicitly. When I was about 12, I had a ferocious ear infection and Dr. Bob had to lance my perforated eardrum. Oy! I felt much gratitude for the relief of that miserable pain. Dr. Bob was wonderful to my mom when my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer and later died. He sent a very poignant letter to my mom, which she still has. Thanks to you, Dr. Bob, for being such a wonderful, warm, empathetic, lovely man and physician. Sincerely, Wendy Brown Levy and Mollie Brown (Mrs. George Brown).

Dr. Bob was SO special to so many. He was a superb diagnostician and truly dedicated to his patients. And his staff was talented as well as personable. I first became his patient when I was 11 and continued to see him for 35 years until he moved to Payson. Even after I moved to Tempe and then to Chandler I commuted, so I wouldn't have to change doctors. I've always felt blessed to have known Dr. Bob, both as my physician and as a father figure. To his family, thank you for all the times you had to share him with us, his patients.

To Dr. Bob's Family -
Especially son Bob. This is Buddy Petsch. I am so sorry to see your dad has passed away. I have very fond memories of all of you. He was a big part of our life as kids. He was always there to help us when we fell. I remember one Saturday AM, a bunch of us were playing football out in front of Arcadia and John Masterson had a stick lodge in the side of his face when he fell in the oleanders. We ran him down to your dads office and he fixed him up. We were really scared, and he was great at calming us down.He was a good father, good friend, and a great DR. I will miss him!!
My Best To You All - Buddy

Bless you Dr. Bob. You along with my parents brought me into this world in 1960 . You took care of me and my brothers when we were sick, and for this I`ll forever be grateful. I will always remember the last time I visited you when I was sick and we went outside and checked out each others motorcycles. You were classmates with my parents in high school and our family doctor until you left Saguaro on Indian School rd. God Bless you Dr. Bob and Gods speed.

I love you Dad!

You were always dedicated to your patients, church, community, international service and always giving service to others. You loved your patients and medicine so much you retired three times!!!

Some of the cherished memories were the family camping trips to Colorado, exploring the Rockies in 4-wheel drive with our family, taking your children with you to "make rounds" at the hospital, pushing your grandchildren on the swings at the park, riding your grandchildren on your motorcycle, me riding with you on your motorcycle, attending their sports activities, flying your airplanes and visiting with your patients and lifting their spirits. You loved your country, were very patriotic, and were grateful for the freedoms we have. You will always be remembered for your bola tie and when up in Payson for wearing your black leather cowboy hat.

A memorial of dad's life will be in the Payson Roundup/internet this next Tuesday, Sept. 18th.

I love you dad and miss you. But I know you have gone to a better place to be with our Heavenly Father. May God be with you till we meet again.

Sending lots of hugs and kisses up to heaven. xoxoxo

My deepest sympathy to DR Cuthbertsons family he was my familys physcian and friend for many years we felt like we were not just a pt but family he was with us in some very troubled times and knowing he was there made us feel like everything was going to be ok and it was.
