Micki, Christie & Bobbie,

Seems a lifetime ago that we were neighbors in Ridglea. Lots of memories when we were kids. I'll never forget the time the bobcat was loose in the neighborhood. I'm sad to hear of the loss of your dad. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Mr Driskell was a very kind man. He attended all of our high school football games. During my senior year he drove me from a game to the hospital when I had hurt my knee. He then came and saw me after surgery. Throughout the years since then, Mr Driskell would ask about my knee, and we would talk about the old high school team. He always had a warm greeting and a nice thing to say to me. Bobbie, I am very sorry. I really liked your dad. Debbie, my thoughts are with you.

I enjoyed phone conversations with Bob as we spoke of Driskells, past and present. I called the day after his passing and was sad to find I could not share my new information about ancient O'Driscolls in Ireland. Blessings to the family.

I have nothing but fond memories of Mr. Driskell. Many a night I spent over at their house with my old friend Bobby. I wish the family peace and comfort during this time, and will keep them in my thoughts.

Wow, what a guy. Loved being around him, his stories and escapades would make a great documentary. A full and fantastic life, Bob will be missed by all who knew him. Fairways and greens.

We will all miss Bob's tenacious approach to his Real Estate transactions. He always had his clients best interests at heart. Bob's bucket list was bigger than most. He experienced and accomplished more in life than most of us ever dream of.
