Christmas has come and gone and it's almost Valentine's Day - my brother's birthday. By God's grace we survived 2007, just a lot lonlier. I thank God for PaPa, Maw Maw, and Rae being so strong - I've gained needed strength from them all, whether they've known it or not. I still hold the picture of Bobby & I taken at our vacation in the Outerbanks to my heart, wishing that I could share the many joys and few pains that our family is experiencing. Wise beyond his years, he knew when to speak and when to say, "Hm." We all continue to trust God, no longer trying to understand - no explanation would ever make sense. Today, like everyday, I just wish he were here. Missing him more than I ever thought possible....

December 17, 2007

I can't say that I didn't cry today, for deep sadness still comes when I think of Bobby's departure to be with the Lord. Yet, even more than crying on this day, I have made a concious, exaggerated effort to fill my heart with happy memories of my beloved cousin. I will always celebrate his life and the joy he brought to mine. Bobby, I love & miss you still.

It's almost Thanksgiving...and it gets a little harder each day it approaches, knowing that last Thanksgiving my brother and my entire family was with me. Each event that brings happiness also brings tears - nothing is the same, not being able to share it with Bobby. Kai was elected to Student Council - I just wanted to call so bad so I could hear him say "Alright Blackie!" to Kai. He would be so proud...We miss him so much - yesterday, today, and everyday.

Still missing my friend. Hey Rob, guess what, I am slowing down a little and reflecting more on God's promise.

Memorial Day 2007. The first thing I thought of when I woke up was the Memorial Day weekend that Bobby, Kenny, Lori, Kevin, Rick and I spent in Las Vegas. I remember having a great time, especially eating Crab Legs at The Big Kitchen buffet in Bally's. We all took a picture in front of Bellagio to send to the Columbus Dispatch. Just one of many many great memories that I hold in my heart that makes me smile. Missing and remembering my little brother today and everyday.....

I thought it would get easier as time goes on. Time has went on and I still miss em. But I know Rob if we could hear his voice from heaven he would say "come on you'll, "Im good" he would say " don't cry for me cry for them that's going to hell" . I miss my dude. Im always bragging about my fading skills (hair cutting) he was supposed to get a hair cut from me., I'll catch em in heaven. For those reading this Im sorry I just went on a little tangent. I can't sleep tonight.

Someone just passed by my office quoting a line from a movie that instantly made me think of my cousin...for one split second I didn't feel the empty space I have in my heart. I was able to simply laugh and have another "happy Bobby" thought. I love my cousin with all of my heart and miss him that much more.

Shari Lamar

February 22, 2007

As Valentine's Day has come and gone, I can look back with happiness on the birthdays that I spent with Bobby. I fondly remember taking him to Red Lobster for his 1st taste of crab legs! I also remember one birthday in particular in which just he and I went to dinner. It made me feel very special to have shared that day with him, given that so many people loved to be with him on his birthday too. My brother had a way of making everyone feel special - I think that's what amazes me the most. While our family always knew how great Bobby was, I don't think we ever could have known the profound impact that he had on so many lives. This is a tribute to our parents, who trained him up in the way that he should go. We can all say, that he never departed and only sought to continue becoming more and more like Jesus. As my cousin said, who would have known how appropriate it would be for Bobby to be born on the day to celebrate love. He truly showed his love to everyone and it is clear to me just how much he was loved in return. Our hearts are still healing - we have our good days, when the hurt is tolerable, and our bad days when the pain is indescribable. I know that people have been and are praying for us and I'm greatful to each of you.

To Mr. and Mrs. McCaskill and family,
I just found out that Robert (as I called him) passed away two days after his birthday which is why this message comes to you so late. I meet Robert in November of 2004 at work and was immediately drawn to his smile first and his wonderful personality next. You did an extraordinary job raising this man. He's the best man I've meet in all my 28 years and he'll be remembered by many. I'm so very sorry for your loss. He was, and always will be, very special to me and I love him with all of my heart

My Uncle Bobby was the best uncle ever. Uncle Bobby was my hero/roll model and he still is. Like others, I shared so many good times with him, but they are so special to me. Khari and Malayah didn't get to spend all the time I spent with Uncle Bobby, but they won't forget him. I loved him and always will.

Dear Family:
I am still grappling and reaching. God holds all the answers. I trust Him. As Rob's birthdate approaches, I am reminded of the fragility and worth of life. I am renewed by the understanding that with our life's seasons, we must do all we can to walk in God's way. I feel rather small and insignificant in the scope of the immense earth, but am steadfast that WE can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens us. Its God's way. As the time nears to a close, where this guestbook will no longer be on-line, he is in my heart and most of all... HE is in my heart. Peace and love...I will never forget. - C.Martin-Via

Bob, Pam and Family: I can't express to you enough my heart felt sympathy. When everything is over and everyone else has gone on with their lives, you are still left with a void in your hearts. I'm praying that God will fill that void with Love, Joy and Peace as you remember Bobby and the joy he brought to your lives. One thing we know - "Earth has no sorrow that heaven can not heal". For those of us who love and serve the Lord - we WILL see Bobby again. Sorry we couldn't be there for the funeral, but our thoughts and prayers were there holding you all up. May the peace of God rest upon you in the days ahead. Much Love to you all.

I would like to express my gratitude to the family of a fine young man. Robert loved God and his family, but he had a special love connection with his mother and father, a connection which is rare in this day and time. I am so glad that God allowed our paths to cross and I got to know Robert in a special way. When he would visit us and we go to church, my boys they would sit Robert between them, because they both wanted to sit by him. They would enjoy service immensely along with a little clowning and laughing, Robert wouldn’t have it any other way. They talked about the time Robert took them to McDonald’s in between services, and they had a “who can eat the most food contest”. We laugh about some of his favorite quotes “man up” and “take it like a man”.
Know that Robert has crossed and touched so many lives, and in those crossing he has blessed and changed many lives.

To the family of Robert McCaskill II
In the journey if life, death is but a passage into the glory of eternity.
Though it saddens us, death has no power over those of us who believe in the promise of Jesus Christ. For to accept the resurrection is to understand that death is only the last step on our journey to eternal life. May our gracious Lord, Who has given your loved one a joyous welcome into heaven, send His loving, comforting Spirit to console you until you’re reunited.

To the family of Robert McCaskill.

I am very sorry for the passing our brother and friend. I had the pleasure of meeting him at a revival in Las Vegas and we became friends.
We were in church service and our drummer couldnt make it. The Lord said to me look up and ask that guy over there to play so I asked robert "are you a musicion" He said "I used to play the drums" I said "well come on and help me" and he did.
I really did appreciate him for his willingness to do that.
I will miss him for his kind spirit and his friendship that we shared even though it was for a short time.
Be blessed and know that Robert was doing God's will even to the end.

His and your brother,
Min. Demieceo Benson

Pastor and First Lady McCaskill I am deeply saddened by the loss of your son. May you continue to rest in the arms of a loving and comforting Father in heaven. We don't understand why things happen, but God promised never to leave us. Cling to His promises. May God Bless you and the family.

Elder McCaskill and First Lady:
As I read the comments in the Obituaries about Bobby, it just confirms the love he had for God and his family. My dear friend Pam, I remember your prayer that he would grow up and become self sufficient. Bobby did that and more. Elder McCaskill and Sister Pam your lost is great and words cannot express how deeply sorry I am. Bobby's Home Going celebration is one that will be remembered for years to come. Everyone spoke so highly of Bobby and it is a direct result of how he was raised. I pray that God will comfort and strengthen you and your family in your time of grief. I am confident Bobby is now watching over all of us with that beautiful smile.

Dawn Featherstone

December 28, 2006

I am truly sorry for your loss. I still remember the times when we would jump the fence as children and play for hours with Bobby and Rai-Rai. Those were the times I enjoyed the most, you all welcomed me and my family into your home as if we were one of your own. Bobby will truly be missed and I wish you and your family well!

Lori Smith

December 28, 2006

It's taken me a long time to even attempt to add anything to this guest book. I've read all of the entries time and time again and there's so much confirmation of what a wonderful young man Uncle Bob and Pam have raised. I could go on and on about the fun times Shari, Rae, Bobby and I have had traveling, bowling, movie nights, Kai's birthday parties, etc. Bobby was like a little brother to me as well. I can remember the day he was born. Little did we know then how appropriate it was for such a loving, good hearted, respectful, compassionate young man to be born on Valentine's Day! Shari and Rae, thank you both for sharing Bobby with me! I will miss him immensely, but I know that the Lord was looking for a "special" angel and I don't think he could have picked a better person.

The word of God says in the book of Matthew "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven".
This is just one scripture that comes to mind when I think of Bobby.
Sometimes we want to question God for the things He does that we have no control over. Please do not question the decision of God, but hold to His unchanging hand.

Erma Swanson

December 28, 2006

Sorry about your last.He is in a better place. He is in God's hands.
He is waiting for his family and friends to meet him in heaven. Be Bless by the best that is Jesus Christ. Erma Swanson I go to Higher Ground.

Bobby was a friend that last which is hard to find. Words can mean alot but not near as much as the presence of himself, his friendship,and ability to make me laugh at a period in my life where a true smile was beyond my reach.
Love you Bobby. Andre Michael Rodgers(Mikey).

The Trip Never Taken

If one had known what the future holds……
I believe we would have made the trip
Your trip to Savannah, my trip to Vegas
To sit around, reminiscing on joyous times, laughing together was our personal past time.

I know I am bless to have once shared a love
To honestly say we had an unwavering friendship touch by his hands above
We met in our late teens and I watched you spiritually grow into a wonderful saint ~ a role model human being.
I pray that in heaven the angels will be bless and
You can be the massage therapist you always wanted to be
For the past ten years you never missed a beat
And every Mother’s Day, getting that phone call was surely a treat

If I could go back in time
I would spend every dime
To make the trip in October to Vegas
To share the friendship that was establish so many years ago
But it is funny how God made this
Now your memory I won’t take for grant but cherish
And know that you will remain in my heart forever

Enjoy yourself while you’re in heaven and keep your family in your sight
Eat all the Waffle and Chicken and Remember Rob “No Food Fights”!

Mr & Mrs McCaskill,
God is with you during this time of heart felt tears. Reflect on the things that are wonderful during this time of need. Your dynamic son was a Mighty Warrior for God, you know where he is at. He was able to see soo soo many things that most folks never even had the pleasure of experiencing. Your family was/is very very close and in today's society that is a RARE commodity. He was not only a christian that spoke about God but it was exemplified in his actions. Read the words of so many of his friends and know that your son was not only an angel to your family but one to so many others as well. He was striving towards what so many christians miss during their walk with Christ. He was as God wants us to be, He was love. Love in the flesh with his actions and his laughter. I know that you will miss this and I know that God will send you a comforting arm whenever you are in need. I have a special prayer for you Mrs. McCaskill because I know how a mother feels towards their children and I know what Bobby meant to you. I apologize that I can not fly home to be at the funeral but I want to remember Rob just the way he was. I enjoyed his company in April at my sister birthday celebration and I thank God that I was bless enough to know a man after "his" own heart.

Cadasa Shellow

Anyone who was blessed with Bobby presence, will agree that he left a imprint in their lives. If you were down he was there to pick you up, whether it was with a hug, jokes or just lending a ear. Bobby lived a life that most people dream of. Until we meet again, know that I love you with all my heart and you were truly a blessing to me.

Rae, Shari, Bro and Sis. McCaskill, there was no one like Robert C. Maskill, the II. I am saddened at this shocking news of his passing. I'll miss his willingness to help others, his sense of humor and his passion for MORE of life. I loved him and also love you all and lift you to the Father....

My brother was simply a gift to us all. A wonderful man who loved his family and friends and shared himself with everyone. He LIVED everyday with joy - not merely existing, but LIVING. I will go forward with that in mind -he would want us all to make the most out of everything life has to offer - just like he did. There are not words to describe our love for one another and I will miss him until I see him again.
