Dad, it has only been 6 weeks..some days it seems like yesterday. I really could use your shoulder right now, comforting words. I just lost Mom on Oct 30th. even though she has been sick...this was totally unexpected. We planned a nice weekend together and dinner...I never thought. To lose you both in such a short time..I feel a hole in my heart, dont know how long it will take to heal. I love you Terry

Dear Bob, Although i only knew you for about two and a half years it actually marks one of the best chapters in my life! I met your granddaughter and is the best thing that happened to me. Ill always remember going out to dinner with you and your family! You would always order a good old fashioned home cooked meal like steak and baked potato but of course anything green was out of the question. While me and Felicia(Charlotte) had a salad. Also don't worry about your lawn i will still take care of it! As far as your family they have grown on me for sure, hopefully i have on them. I will do my best to help them in any way i can. All time i spent with you, you would always have me laughing and would always be there for any questions i had. I will always remember you and your ways will live on through not only your family but each and everyone lives you have ever impacted. Thanks for all the knowledge you shared with me it will forever be deeply appreciated.

Uncle Bobby, I miss you and think of you often. I have so many fond memories of our times together on Pismo Beach, the summer I spent with you and Aunt Suzie in Pheonix, the occasional visits to WA. Oh and I have to mention the wonderful trip Grandma and I took to Germany to see you. Thank you for being there for me when I didn't know which way to turn. The summer I stayed with you really helped keep me out of trouble and gave my mom and dad a much needed break :). I will forever be gratefull for your subtle push to goin the AF. It changed my life. I love you Uncle Bobby, rest in peace.
Your Niece Sheri

Bob was a great mentor and friend to me. I have great memories of him while stationed with him at Willy. I enjoyed working hard with him and enjoying a cold beer with him and Suzzie at their home. I recall his tiny smile and one of a kind voice of his. I hope to replace these tears in my eyes for fond memories of the good times. (Ed Porter Hampton Va)

Bob was an outstanding Senior Non Commissioned Officer, but more importantly an outstanding man. I could count on Bob inspiring his troops to give their very best to any endeavor. I render you a mournful salute as you depart on your final flight. By: SMSgt Hubert W. Adams,First Sergeant
