Everyone that knew Bob knew how much he loved and put others before himself. He was a man of dignity, honesty, respect and faith and no matter what he always stayed positive in life no matter what it threw at him. I consider myself very lucky though because there are very few people in this world that could say he was also a wonderful DAD and that's just what he was. He was always there for me and never let me down. He treated me as if I was one of his own and I will always be grateful for that. I love and miss him very much!!!!!!!!!

I am so glad and grateful that I've had an opportunity to know Bob and be at least a small part of his life. Bob was a very private man and at times hard to figure out, even as his brother-in-law. But what I do know about Bob is that he was a man of character, integrity, and good old-fashioned morals. He was passionate about what he believed in and compassionate and thoughtful to others. One of many things that comes to mind is how kind and thoughtful he was time and time again to my mother - frequently sending special dishes he cooked to her and helping with other things she needed.

Perhpas some of the greatest legacies he has left behind is the love he touched my sister Karen's life with and his two sons, who are incredibly kind and caring themselves.

It's been a little over 6 months since you went to Heaven and I miss you more than ever. The shock of losing you is wearing off, but the pain of going on without you has become almost unbearable. I miss the sound of your voice, your smile, your hand in mine, your kisses, feeling your arms wrapped around me making me feel so loved and secure. I miss laughing the way only you could make me laugh. There is nothing about you I don't miss. I long for us to be together again. The tears still flow each day as I think of you. You were my life. Everything reminds me of you and the special bond and love we shared. Loving you was the greatest and most wonderful treasure in my life. Losing you and being forced to live without you is the hardest thing I've ever had to do. It still feels like a nightmare, but I can't wake up. I talk to your pictures everyday and tell you how much I love and miss you. I put on a smile for everyone to hide my pain from them, but I can't hide it from myself. I love you so very much and always will. You will always live on in my heart and memories. You truly were and are the Love of my life for eternity.

I just want everyone to know what a good man Bob was. When I needed something to be fixed, Bob would come over right away and with him, he would bring a bone for each of my dogs. He helped me with many things that I needed to do within my life and showed me the reason why. The greatest thing was, that he loved all the animals, just like me. I will always remember him as a friend and a buddy. He will always be in my heart.

Rick and I were so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. I remember him well when I'd come to your house when we were in high school. Of course he didn't want much to do with us because we were just younger brats. LOL. I think of you often and am sorry that it took this to be able to contact you. Please stay in touch and pass along our sympathies to Bob's family. I still have very fond memories of our high school days and vacation to West Palm with your family. Still Luv Ya.

My husband Bob Paine was an amazing man. He was honest, loving, kind and a true gentleman. He was very soft hearted and sentimental. He tried to put on a tough exterior, but couldn't hide his soft and gentle heart from me or those who knew him best. He treasured sentimental items and memories. He never forgot important things or important dates like birthdays and anniversaries. He loved the Lord and his family with all his heart. His sons, Mike and Brian meant the world to him. Just the mere mention of their names would bring a smile to his face. Even on our first date and many times thereafter he told me he had the two greatest sons in all the world. The more he got to know Tammy, the more he grew to love her. He loved and treated me in a way that was very special. A feeling that I will never forget. Our marriage and life together became as a fairy tale. It was fantastic.

I remember when he asked me out for the first time. He came to the dealership and brought me the most beautiful rose and a card and then just left. A few hours later he called and asked me out. That was the start of a wonderful life with him. As I got to know him better, I was amazed at what a refreshing change he was from most. He was what I had been looking for for so many years. I told him as he was bringing me home from our second date, that I felt like he was treating me like a queen. He thanked me but I don't think he really understood how special he made me feel and that feeling has never changed. It just came natural to him because that was just the type of man he was.

I never laughed so much in all my life as I did during our years together. He could make even the most routine and mundane work fun. We would laugh about anything and everything. We were so happy together. He could make me laugh even at some of the worst times in my life. When my son Steven passed away, as heartbroken as I was, even then he was able to make me laugh. He had a smile that could light up the darkest room and melt the coldest of hearts. He had a heart as good as gold. He loved my Mom and when she became ill, he would cook special meals just for her. He never complained about me spending time away when I was taking care of her. He would tell me, "it's the right thing to do. We have the rest of our lives together."

He loved to cook. He would spend hours making datil pepper sauce just to give most of it away to family and friends. It made him feel so good that people enjoyed what he made. I can see him now, with the smile on his face delivering the datil pepper sauce, eggs, peaches and grapefruit.

He was a very wise and mature man, but knew how to have fun. In some ways he never grew up. Life with him was never dull. When I came home from work, he would almost always meet me outside with a hug or kiss or both. I remember coming home from work one night and on this particular night I found it odd that he didn't come outside. I went in through the front door and rounded the corner to the kitchen and there he was with 2 loaded water guns and his fingers on the triggers. He didn't play fair though because he wouldn't give me one to defend myself and guess who got to clean up the water I wasn't wearing.

Bob was the most special man I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. I thank God for bringing him into my life. He made my life complete. He was the answer to my prayers. He was and is the Love of My Life. My life is so much better for having known him and being loved by him. Nothing is the same without him. Coffee doesn't even taste the same without sharing it with him.

At this point I can't even think of or imagine life without him and I don't want to, but I don't have a choice. God in His love and wisdom took him home. I don't know what tomorrow holds, but I do know that I will miss him and love him for the rest of my life. One day I will join him, but until then, my heart aches non-stop for him and the wonderful life we shared together.

Bob was greatly missed at the reunion! Whenever I saw Bob, he seemed to have a smile on his face. Bob will be sorely missed!

Memories, Bobby was my first boyfriend in high school, because he sat in front of me in home room, he was "the track star"! Think that amounted to 2 or 3 phone calls but it was great. I too lived in Palm Coast for the last 7 years, small world. Bobby always laughed and smiled even at our 35th reunion, thinking that was the last we talked.
