Daddy it's been a year and half since you been gone. I still can't wrap my mind around the fact that you are gone. I know that we all have a time when God calls us home. I just thought I had more time. Julia and Jazzmin will never be the same since you left. When you left us you took apart of us with you. How do we go on with out you. You were the only man that I could ever count on. I know you are flying High with the angels. I love you Daddy. I know when I need you'll be right outside my window. I feel my arms around me when the wind blows. I still think you left to soon,but I'm thankful for your time Heavens lucky to have you so was I. I wish I could call you when I wanted one of your recipes. I wish we could catch up and her you laughing at me, but today I found a picture and saw that smile upon your face I knew everything would be OK. Fly High my Angel. Rest In Peace Faithful Servant

What a huge loss to so many Bob, I feel proud to say growing up around you and the family has always meant so much to me. One of the best memories I have of you is when we were all hanging out in the driveway with the fire going, and everyone started dancing and you actually got me out there to dance. No one could but you did! You taught me a Mexican dance, I remember laughing and having so much fun. I always talked about that memory and still do to this day, what a fond memory. I always thought of you as a second dad, you treated me as good as your own. I will never forget you Bob. It is sad to know you’re not here anymore but I know you are with our Lord. I pray for your family to have peace. I know when we all look back and reminisce about you, we will smile, laugh and cry. With great love in my heart, fly high Angel.

It was with sadness that I heard of bobby bears passing. I would like to extend my condolences to the entire family . There was a reason they called him "bear " you didn't want to get swat by that paw, but he had a heart as big as a bears. He truly will be missed .

There’s a special angel in heaven that is a part of us. It is not where we wanted him, but where God wanted him to be. Feels like he was here for just a moment like a night time shooting star and though he is in heaven he isn’t very far. He touched the hearts of many like only angels can. We would’ve held him every minute if we’d only known God’s plan. So we send the special message to the angels up above, please take care of our angel and send him all our love. Until we can all be together again.

Uncle Bob
Thank you for the talks about your garden. Thank you for being kind and loving to me and Katy and Ritchie. Always when I seen you the first thing you would say is what are the kids up to and how they doing. You were the mold of what a man should be. I loved watching you and Aunt Minnie interact so loving. I remeber going over and say hello and what ya doing and you said waiting for my wife to come back I miss her and I asked oh where did she go and you said oh just to the store. I thought I want a love like that. I will miss you smile and your jokes. One more memory. When Ritchie dropped me off like he always did he got off the car and was talking to you and Cub you were fixing a chair Ritchie asked if you needed help you said sure and you two were trying to fix it laughing and talking. Ritchie later that night could not stop talking about how much fun he had with you. When I told him you had died he said I have this one memory that is mine and will always look back on it from time to time. Katy has memories of when Stephaine watched her when she was 4 and 5. She said you would wave to her in the am and when you came home from work you would smile and say hey you still here. Thank you for being a loving uncle and a role model for my son to achieve to be. I love you Uncle Bob.
Your Niece
