I´m So Sorry for the Family
My Condolences
I Wish I Could Have Been There To Celebrate his life.
One of my best memories of Bobby was when he & Kaye came out to the ranch on jumper and We went horseback riding and on the way back his horse took off (wanting to get home) he hung on bye the neck & when the horse stopped he just flopped on the ground. We all laughed SO Hard he got pissed at US kids and started chasing us & We were still on our horses. We had lots of fun with him at the Ranch .
So Sorry for Your Loss & Prayers for All

It is with profound sadness that I extend my deepest condolences to Bob's family. Bob and I worked together at Caltrol and although Bob was a colleague, he was also a friend.
