Bob,
Another year my friend. I was at Lake Como a few weeks ago and I went to church. I was thinking about you and my father. The times we had together were the Best anyone could ever ask for. You always brought a smile to our faces as well as anyone that was around us at that time.
I love you and miss you my friend. we will meet again.
Love,
John

Bob,
There is not a day that goes by that I am not talking about you. You are in my Heart forever. I tell stories about our travels and adventures every time I am around a group of people. We had many good times my friend and more to come when I get there.
Time has gone bye so fast that it's hard to believe that you are not here with us. It seems like it was only yesterday and it's a bad Dream that you are not with all your loved ones. My father is with you now and I am sure the two of you are making lots of noise up there.
I love you and miss you.
Love Always,
Your Friend,
John

I MET BOBBY WHILE WORKING AT THE LOUNGE, WE BECAME CLOSE FRIENDS AND I'M SURE PEOPLE WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN WHEN I SAY BOBBY WAS ONE OF THE BEST GIRLFRIENDS I EVER HAD. IF I HAD TROUBLE WITH MY KIDS OR MY BOYFRIEND OR JUST LIFE IN GENERAL, BOBBY ALWAYS GAVE ME THE BEST ADVICE NOT ALWAYS WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR BUT WAS ALWAYS THE BEST THING FOR ME. THERES NOT ADAY THAT GOES BY THAT I DON'T THINK OFF HIM AND MISS HIM.I REALLY MISS HIS JOKES ON THE INTERNET. BOBBY WAS A CHARACTER THAT WILL LIVE ON AS LONG AS I'M ALIVE.KEEP THE PARTY GOING TILL I GET THERE.

To "The Brother,"

I know it has taken me a long time to write, but it's hard! I miss you so much. I miss calling you and sharing the stupid things only we shared together; the imitations, the laughs, even the arguments.

I need to share something with you because only you will laugh as I did. I've told everyone, but only you will really appreciate it. "The Nut" purchased boots for Flea, to keep her feet from the salt in the road. Thank God the dog had the sense to lay down and refuse to wear them. Thank you for making Ash better. I know that you know what Terri went through. I try to look after Terri, but it's hard when I'm the blubbering idiot. Anna told Jane that she is being strong for Terri and me. I miss you.

Your friends have been so supportive. They invite me to join them because you can't. I can't replace you but I'm honored that they want me there.

Back in 1967, you received a draft notice. I remember that as you left you said that I wasn't losing a brother, I was gaining my brother's 1967 Ford Fairlane. (A Hot Car) I told you that I didn't want a car, I wanted my brother. Because of your bad knees, they sent you back. I know you won't be back this time. I miss you. Please send me another sign.

Love, "The Sister"

So many of the sweetest and kindest friends that I have known have just slipped away. Bob certainly was one of them. We showed Falls Gulch paisley shirts and shiny pants, all the while grinning, and trying not to get too serious. The memories help, Love,E

Bob #1/Grande: We had a very short-lived marriage but a very, very long-lived friendship and I will miss that friendship and the sound of your voice forever!

People come and go in our lives and we are lucky if they make an impression. Bobby made more than an impression. There is this huge void that will never be replaced. There truly was no one like him and that is what touched so many of us.

All of my love,

Erika

If you went to a party and saw Bob there, you knew it was bound to be a great time... especially if he had his guitar. I'll never forget his big personality and gentle voice.

The day I walked off the plane in Boston in 1971 and met you for the first time, was the day my world changed. You taught me how to laugh and appreciate all the joys in life all of these years. We have been through so much together and have so many wonderful and special memories. We were blessed with great friends and family that most people will never experience

My life will never be the same without you. I will miss you so very much. Debra

Bob: You were the Best!!! All we had to do was ask you: " I'm so good I don't have to brag!" You were always a good friend and buddy and welcomed me into your family. In fact, you dubbed me "Cus" - Why? because I was "the guy." Thanks for the memories down SPC, I will never forget them. I will never forget you. See you on the first tee in Paradise. Love, Tom

Bob,we will never forget all the songs at Piedmont Farm. We that were there agree those songs were incredible. And the comedy/stories in between made it the greatest live shows ever. We will all miss you.

Bob, my life began when I met you. I miss you greatly and always will. I will keep you in my heart and cherish the many memories I have of our time together.

You've left me with many lessons on how to live life to the fullest and enjoy all that it has to offer.

I know you're in a better place and probably restructuring the way things are done to better suit your wants and desires (I hope you're doing this anyway). Be good, make lots of friends and watch over me and the pup. Most importantly, be happy and share your wonderful sense of humor and kindness with those you meet.

I love you and will miss you always. "The Wife"

p.s. Flea also misses you greatly.

It's far too soon to lose someone so full of life and love. Bob always made me laugh and his music touched everyone. He will surely be missed.

BOBBY-YOU ARE UNIQUE.Of all the people who have come and gone on this earth, not ONE of them is like you. No one who has ever lived or is to come will have your combination of talent, friends, aquantances, experiences, sorrows or opportunities..You did not pretend. No one will be loved by the same combination of people that love you and will miss you.IF YOU HAD NOT EXISTED, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A HOLE IN CREATION, A GAP IN HISTORY, SOMETHING MISSING FROM THE PLAN OF MANKIND. I WILL TRULY MISS YOU. Love, Your Debbie

Dear Terri, Ellen and Family

Bobbie & I have been friends since grade school. I'm so sad that I didn't get to see him or attend the service, I had a hip replacement on 1/11 and I'm not getting around yet. Bobbie was such a good friend to me and I will miss him terribly. He could always make me laugh, he said I was his best audience. Bobbie will always be in my heart. The world won't be the same without Bobbie. Our loss is heavens gain. Love, Genie

I hope your happy memories will carry you through the days ahead.

When I think of Bobby, I think of someone who lived life to the fullest. We could all learn something from that. My heart goes out to all of you.

Bobby, God only wants roses in his garden. I know that is why he took you to be with him. Your book of life was filled with many exciting times and wonderful people. You gave something to everyone, JOY. To me, you will always be in my heart. I love you and will miss you very much. You were always there for me. You will be the brightest star in the sky, I know. Love,Susan

Bobby’s vibrant presence and cheerful smile will be greatly missed. Nobody could tell a story like Bobby. He made all laugh and want to be around him. What a great loss to all of those who knew him and to all who had not yet had the chance to meet him. He will be in our hearts and memories forever.
